Title: What backcountry muzzleloader supplies
Post by: Craig on September 07, 2014, 02:19:40 PM: If you were backpack hunting 4 miles from the truck for 3-4 days at a time( in October ). What supplies would you bring with you for your muzzleloader? Do you clean your gun everyday?

I have hunted with my muzzleloader a couple times but just day hunts.
