Now, with my flintlock and a round ball, I take a shot behind the shoulder (same as I do when bow hunting)...

This will sound funny, but I get better blood trails with a heart/lung hit out of my flintlock than with saboted bullets out of my inline...So, with my inline, I want to drop them, seems sometimes it takes awhile for them to start bleeding to give me a good blood trail...
