First kill with a flintlock

[Florida airgunner]

Hi guys

I turned 16 a few days ago and just got my hunting license here in florida. I already got my first kill with a flintlock. It's an indian made 1777 charleville shooting patched .65 roundballs i casted myself.

I was walking down a trail on this public land in the evening, maybe around 4 pm when I saw 4 or 5 little piglets crossing the trail. I kneeled and when one of em turned broadside I squeezed the trigger at about 40 yards. Hit it in the brain. Now that I look back I probably should have waited to see if mama pig would come out but im still happy.

Congratulations!

If I may ask, how did you get into traditional muzzleloader hunting? Clearly we need to duplicate the process!

It just means your a good shot if you can shoot the little ones in the brain pan. Especially with ball you casted yourself. Well done buddy! Osceolas in the spring?
