Default My 1st Muzzle loading Buck

Got my first Muzzle Loaderbuck Yesterdaymorning and I'm a happy hunter. I'd like to post a picture but don't know how to scale it down.
Can anyone help? Anyways, I hunted all yesterday morning and nothing. I decided to get out of my stand around 11 for lunch and walked to my car. Got to my car took my primer out ofmy Thompson Center Triumph, put the gun in the case,changed clothingandloaded everything up. I then drove away fromthe property I hunt. As I started to drive away, I see this buck trotting from the neighbors treeline leading into the woods I hunt, about 400 yards parallel from where I was at, I put my car in reverse, parked my car again, got dressed again, and finally went back into the woods. I tried to slowly walked back into the woods with adrenaline pumping through my veins, heart beating faster, starting tofeel the fever.300 yards,200 yards, Creepingslowly to thefunnel that leads to this 5 acrewooded area, itsjust about 150 yards from whereI was at and I saw it, Man, did I really get excited. I got on the ground and crawled about 10 yards and stopped because he started to move, and you what right towards me. He got to about 100 to 120 yards and got broadside. I then looked through my Nikon 3-9x40, cocked my Triumph loaded with 100gr pyrodex pellets and a 250gr barnes red hot expander, took a breath, held it, and shot. The buck dropped right where I shot him.
Nice 8 pointer!

I'd like to load the pic can someone help me....Thanks guys
