New to ML hunting

[Diablo]

I’d invite any of you guys that want to learn about muzzleloading to go over to a dedicated muzzy forum like MML…..

It's a great forum. Some very knowledgeable and helpful folks there. Yourself included obviously.

Matchlock only or gtfo.

I shoot an inline. But I'm all for it. Recurve during archery season too and no drones or dogs after the shot either. While we're at it let's have kids wait until they're at least 8 years old. So at least they can remember shooting there first deer. Know a guy who's five year old shot his first buck this year. Gut shot and found it the next day while he was home sleeping with the bloodhound. What an experience that must have been for the young hunter. Maybe it's best he won't remember it.

I hate muzzleloaders. I like the unique hunting opportunity ML only tags provide. Don’t shoot well if it’s too dirty. Don’t shoot well if it’s too clean.

Modern muzzleloaders are not the flintlocks some of you think they are, 300 is not hard

300 yards, add a scope and who knows what a guy could do with a $9,000 muzzleloader! lol

“Many” is an exaggeration. Most western states are not very primitive in their muzzy regs.

Give me a list of the states that only allow “Open sights, no scopes, black powder.”

The regs are the regs - absolutely nothing wrong with using equipment that meets the regs.

And for the record….I use a muzzy for all my big game hunting - including for once-in-a-lifetime species during “any weapon” hunts.
