Hopefully I'll FINALLY be able to get one with my muzzle loader this year. I've only hunted with it once and never saw anything. Looking forward to it.
Are you?...
Hunt/fish safely,

I have one and hunted with it for 20 years. Funny thing is that when Ga opened a ML season, I quit using it and stay with the bow. Go figure! :

Got two the second Sat. morning of muzzleloading season last year. Goes to show that after you shoot one, sit back down for a little bit and see what happens.

I've taken a couple of does with mine. They sure are fun to shoot (but not to clean ).

No deer, but a nice cumberland Is. pig.

hope to change that this year with my first BP deer. Freezer is empty and I'm not a great bow hunter.

Also, got two days off during that week with fall break (9th &10th), plan to hit it hard.

Join me phil, we will probably be the only ones on the place.

Had one sold, don't plan on buying one again. I killed a deer with a Flint Lock, does that count?

I have always enjoyed shooting black powder. I got started a bunch of years ago when five or six of us from work would get together on a guys farm and shoot all day.

I hunted with a muzzleloader during gun season long before there was a season. I have been pretty lucky to take a good number of deer with a muzzleloader.

I have always shot a Hawken style sidelock but two years ago I bought a CVA magbolt with the intention of putting a scope on it. My old eyes have a hard time with open sights anymore, but as you know they have not changed the law yet.

I will be out there this season again. We have several in the club who shoot muzzleloaders and we usually have a good time.

I took my first deer with a muzzleloader. Taken does and few decent bucks with it since. I like to hunt with a muzzleloader almost as much as a bow- almost.

After 2 years of trying, I still have not taken a shot but do plan on trying the friday the 15th. I generally only hunt with it 1 maybe 2 times per season!

I've killed an 11 pointer and an 8 pointer (my first buck) with my muzzle loader. Hope to do it again this year.
