How many muzzleloaders guys out there...?

Been using the smoke pole for a few years now.  Absolutely love it!
 

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.

Couldn't agree with you more Fair Chase, I did the same thing last year.  Only with both deer and elk   NEVER AGAIN!

Started out with the muzzleloader.  When the state closed my GMUs to muzzy elk and shortened the season I switched to moderen.  Now I do both, reluctantly...muzzy for deer and modern for elk.

This will be my third season with muzzleloader and I love it. Took this guy with my hawkins last year.

I have a T/C Grey Hawk .54 I bought 20 years ago. Killed 1 deer. Tried elk hunting up in the Selkirks 6 years ago and that was it. I'm thinkin' this year might be a good choice.

Seriously??? I think the late archery season is the worst.  I've never seen so many road hunters.  And they say its more of a challenge.....
