Who brings down their game with caplocks?  Well!?

If it works these are a few things harvested with muzzleloader.
Mule deer and white tails should be visible.

I'm pretty sure everything on the wall was taken with percussion but I've harvested a few animals with my flinters too.

I've also won a few matches with flint as well as percussion. If you are looking at the sights and the target when the gun goes off it doesn't matter which you are using. They both work.

I haven't ever hunted anything larger than whitetails.  Lots of small game too.  Had to leave most of my racks when we moved and miss them terribly.  Here's what I have left.
