One member of our party made meat with his smoothbore. He made the shot at about 65 yards up hill. Bullet entered and broke a rib, passed through a lung and then through the spine. That cow dropped like a ton of bricks and rolled almost down to the creek. My son finished her off with a head shot from his flinter. We in total saw 14 cows, 2 bulls, 2 bears (one of which got some lead flung at it, and several grouse. Some of the grouse made it home with me. My son and I are returning this weekend for 4 more days of cow hunting.

They make a youth model .50 cal flintlock. Price is right too at about $140-150. Both my boys use them. My oldest killed his first deer last year with his.
