How many muzzleloaders guys out there...?

Yeah gotta love the muzzy! For eastside deer its a kick.. you're hunting the same deer the rifle guys are but two weeks earlier

MUZZY hunting sucks.. You wont like it.. The guns always miss fire. No animals to be seen cause the archery hunters are so noisy they scare them all away Go back to what you know

I guess I have to agree. There are at least four deer still walking these woods because of the trouble with misfiring that I have had with my smoke pole that were well within bow range. I aint giving up though because I love shooting that black powder. I just have to figure out this problem with my nipples (not to get too personal  )

Use to rifle hunt....... ML elk for over ten years now...... Just switched to ML deer last year and I'll never go back..

I've been using muzzy for both deer and elk almost exclusively since the mid '90s. Last year I picked up a modern deer tag.  All that did was to reaffirm my utter disgust of that season. I will not make that mistake again. Not only that but I try not to even enter the woods while the modern guys are out. I will stick with muzzy and occasionally throw in an archery hunt just to mix things up a bit.

Will muzzleload for deer this year. Modern rifle for elk. Like most everyone else, keeping the fingers crossed for special hunt draws.

this year will be my 2nd year muzzy elk. Rifle for deer.

going to muzzy hunt till I fill my quality and bull elk tags, then switching to bow.  Can't wait to hunt any bull on the west side with my bow and not have to wait 16+ years for a fn tag.

I have been muzzleloading for three years, and taken four deer (three over-the-counter, and one on a 'Second Deer' tag), three of them with a Knight Bighorn (great gun).  I would love to get back to archery again some day, but for now, muzzleloading is an absolute blast!  (Pun intended).  And one can take antlerless in many units, which fits my primary objective of putting meat away for winter.

Hunting for 16 years only with a bow. First compound then switched to recurve. Still love my bow, but real selective where (state) I hunt with it to get away from the crowds.

Took up muzzleloading about 16 year ago.Mostly just hunt these days with muzzleloader. New to washington, still trying to figure it out.

I'm from Idaho and Nevada. Know Oregon, Idaho, Nevada and W. Montana like the back of my hand.

Many good places to hunt, get away from the crowds if you know the places to go.
