If'n the critter is close enough to hear you set the triggers, you're in trouble already! That ain't no joke.

If the animal is close enough to hear you set your trigger, you put the bait pile too close! :wink:

It's simple to cock a gun silently; long ago I spooked a couple of critters with the sound of the hammer cocking. Setting the trigger has never been a problem for me, at least. The tiny "click" just isn't that loud. I own only one dbl set trigger percussion but as yet have to take it into the woods.
While it may be frowned on (I normally hunt alone) where flintlocks are concerned once I'm in my spot and ready to go, I will cock the flint but leave the frizzen cover on. This way all I have to do to shoot is remove the cover and set the trigger to shoot. If I get up and move the rifle goes to half cock with the cover on the frizzen.
