YES! A.40 cal. Flinter can Kill!

[TTT]

Just getting home from a wonderful time in Georgia chasing Hogs! May I say the Flinters performed beautifully!! My first day slipping through the flooded timber I slipped into 20 yards of this Beautiful Boar with my .62 cal. Smoothbore, loaded with patch and roundball. Later in the week I killed a young boar with my Longbowand rounding out the trip I ROLLED this hog with my .40 cal Flintlock, loaded with patch and roundball at about 65 yards. What an Awesome Trip with Great Friends and filling a freezers!

Sorry got interrupted while writing that post, but this was my First kill with that little .40 cal. I was very impressed how that roundball rolled that hog off his feet! Put to bed any doubts I had about using it for deer.

Where did you hit it?

Those hogs look pretty big, better to make them into sausage otherwise they probably will be tough to chew.

I thought I would have some pork chops out of the first hog I killed. HA! I wound up feeding the pork chops to the dog.

Heartshot on the big tusker with the .62 and middle center shoulder with the .40. Through shoulder and close lung, ball was found about 3/4 way through far lung
