After spending a few days in the Toutle I believe to muzzy elk hunt, regardless of gun, you have to drink Bush Lite beer. It must be a requirement or something. I'm also starting to believe that it is a requirement that no muzzy elk hunter is allowed to take their Bush Lite empties out of the woods.
Our group spent the entire week on the early muzzy cow season up the Toutle 4100/4200/3000 and most all of the spurs on the side and never saw a Busch beer can anywhere much less any beer cans. I think the reason was we were looking for cow elk and not beer cans though we did get one cow and we killed most our Busch cans at camp.
Just sayin
anyone be it archers/muzzy/ modern/scouting parties/or just people as in brush pickers, bough cutters, treeplanters, loggers, truck drivers, archers, modern rifle scouts, and the city folks out for a drive, no need to place the entire blame of Busch beer cans being tossed out on the side of the roads on the muzzy guys. I have scouted that area since June both high and low and I can't say for sure it is entirely 100% muzzy hunters trashing the Toutle with beer cans. Just sayin
Nate,
Lyman makes a great round ball traditonal rifle in a .50 which I loved hunting with for many years. It was a good looking rifle although a bit on the heavy side. T/C makes a great .50 carbine which is a lot lighter and handles nicely. I now shoot a Knight Bighorn and absolutely love the way it handles/shoots/breaks down for cleaning over the traditional muzzle loaders, however, to each his own with a choice of traditional or modern.
