Anyone ever hunt with a matchlock?

Looks like it would def be a challenge, you would have to make sure you are down wind all the time, at least it would be easy to tell if you were down wind or not by your match smoke. And def no hunting in the rain

Not even sure if they are considered legal, but I would think they would work if you can get them to shoot accurately.  Talk about a long hang time.

I would have to sit in a dry ground blind looking over a good trail upwind to even try it.
