How many muzzleloaders guys out there...?

[BOWHUNTER45]

After being a serious bowhunter for over 30yrs I think I am all muzzleloader this year .. after seeing all these elk tags I need to do it ..time to put the .54 cal to work .. Now that I can use a jacketed bullet I think some sh$t is going to die ..

Love the attitude.  Muzzy for elk this year.  My uncle Bob bought me a muzzy over 15 years ago.  A Hawkins .54 model from Cabelas....that gun has killed more deer than I can claim.

Bowhunted for 30+ years had to quit due to shoulder injury.Started muzzleloading a couple years ago just love shooting it,killed a nice cow last year. Wish I would have done it sooner.Lots of fun and a lot less people to contend with.

yeah it is fun .. I have killed a couple with a muzzleloader back when you could hunt area 336 .. it is fun .. I finally got my big bull with my bow so it should be cool to have a change ....cant wait now that I am thinking about it ...Back in P.A when I was a kid it was all flintlock which was fun back then ..I dont care as long as I have elk steaks ....

been all muzzy for 7 years.  Seasons are way better.  Not as many people.  I think I saw more bow hunters last year than I did muzzy hunters.  Muzzy has gotten a little crowded over the past few years due to the 9 day season.  Wish they would go back to 7 and get rid of a few people.  Love the smoke pole!

My Son and I havve been packing muzzies for over 10 years. Taken lots of elk and a few deer with them. Unfortunately the muzzy seasons are gtting as crowded as modern.

  Ive got 9 points this year so im going for my first big bull.  I hope I draw.  Figure it would be a good chance if i do get draw.

Kind of the same here.  The last few years tried muzzy, but going to break out the rifle this year.  Last year there were so many muzzy hunters mainly because the limited units that I figured I'd go back to rifle.  During rifle the roads are crowded, but the hunters are spread out over more units.  That and last year I dealt with so much rain during the late season that it was too iffy as to whether or not the thing would make a bang.

I never did do the bow hunting thing, but I started hunting with a muzzleloader a few years back and now that is the only thing I hunt with.  Even during a regular rifle seasons - i go muzzleloading.  It is very infectious..

Muzzleloader and elk... works well...

This will be my first serious year. I bought a CVA .54 cal about 15 years ago. Took it out,missed a nice doe and put it back in the safe. Haven't shot it but 2-3 times since.

We started kicking the muzzleloader thing around last year in Elk camp. My brother and dad decided they'd buy a muzzleloader and we'd all go at it together.

We're doing deer this year and if things go well,may try elk next.

I'm excited.
