I've hunted almost everyday of my life, the rest have been wasted.

As far as the crowds....it can't be worse than rifle hunts where I go.

You got that right. Modern season is getting rediculous. It couldn't be worse than that. If they give more time in 139 I think I'll switch to ML. The Yahoo's down there are getting out of hand.

If you can find a used White I would buy it in a heartbeat.

Winchester X-150 in .45. It's just a fancy CVA but I love mine in .50  Paid $250 at Sportsmans Warehouse on sale 3 years ago. Think I might buy it in the .45 now.

I have Traditions Pursuit Northwest Edition that came out last year configured to be legal in WA.  It's a great gun.

With the economy what it is and retailers having problems getting lines of credit to stock stores, expect fewer muzzleloaders on the shelf. I asked about special orders at my local sports shop and I was told they can't do that anymore. Also, layaway is no longer an option.
Gathering is easy. Hunting is a challenge.

Have you had any problems with the ignition system not firing and taking multiple strikes on the caps to fire?

My cousin bought this gun last fall. Ever since the first time he took it out he's had problems. I guess tradition's know's about the problem and will fix it. Apperantly (sp) the hammer was designed for the 209 ignition. All they did to make it legal in wa was to cut the whole in the top and change the ignition. Since the hammer was designed for the 209 it doesn't hit the musket caps right. My cousin missed an opertunity (sp) at a really big doe, broadside at 30 yrds, on the last day of the season because his gun didn't go off.
It's not the size of the trophy that make's it a trophy.

You may just be one person in this world. But you may be the world to just one person.
