Title: another new front stuffer
Post by: syoungs on September 19, 2013, 02:17:15 AM: So after spending way to much money on a old hawken replica that I do not trust, nor have all the parts to, I found another muzzle loader to purchase.

Ended up with a traditions tracker, think it will be a good gun to get my feet wet, bought it from a friend of mine for 100$, cheapest I could find for a rifle so close to the season.

Im stoked, going to shoot it this weekend, I will hunt the early season a bit, but I plan on hunting the late season harder, as I have some private land access in 381, which I hear is a good meat hunt.

Any tips for a new shooter?

Have fun and keep your powder dry! :tup:
