That really is a beautiful buck... I am envious. Congratulations and nice follow through when the "you know what hit the fan." You must be one cool headed hunter. Many of them would have freaked out when the primer did not go off a second time like that. You need to find a friend and tell them to pat you on the back because you deserve it.

You also need to examine your cleaning, preloading, loading practices and in the field maintenance procedures, to make sure you are not making a mistake somewhere. Otherwise that rifle would be on the first bus AFTER SEASON OF COURSE back to the manufacturer with a nasty letter of how it almost cost me two deer.

Again, congratulations and nice job with muzzleloaders.
