Before you do anything else, read your owner's manual, paying particular attention to the parts printed in red ink. Then go on to the instructions on how to pull a load and then cleaning it.

Always unload the gun after each day of hunting or shooting. Not only for safety reasons but leaving the gun loaded for weeks at a time, especially with a fouled barrel, will cause rust and pitting. Sometimes it'll rust overnight.

In high humidity, the charge can soak up moisture. Even if you'd gotten an opportunity at an animal, there was a good chance the powder wouldn't ignite and you'dnot gotten a shot off. So, the only smart move is to fire the gun or pull the charge andevery time you quit for the day.

I hate to sound so severe like this, but you made several basic muzzleloadingrule violations you desperatelyneed to correct.
