I know deer season has begun in some states and may be nearly over in others. Who used a traditional muzzle loader this season and what game did you hunt with it? Who is still planning on hunting with one?
I plan on hunting a few days next week to fill some antlerless tags. All told I plan on hunting 8 days with a front-stuffer this year. Anyone else?

No one is worthless. They can always be used as a bad example.
Filled my buck tag this year (Thanksgiving morning) with my 44 Mag Contender. Will probably use my '72 Ithaca for a try at a doe yet during firearm season, but may brake out my .50 cal. TC Renegade (kit gun from the early '80's) during the late season. Hope all your shots go FTTPOW! and find their mark.
Think me not unkind and rude,

Muzzle Loader season has come and gone here in GA. I've plowwed furrows with the butt end of that thang for 7 years now, and I've never tripped it on a deer. Our season is only a week in between archery and rifle season, and it's always HOT that week. Usually early-mid October. I may bring it out again late in the season just to ventilate a doe or something once I fill my spot in the buck contest at work.

Does this rag smell like chloroform to you?
One of my biologists just got a big-bodied forkie over on the islands in western Wash. He and another (ex-)staff member went elk hunting and got one shot (missed). Second elk season should be opening soon.
I couldn't get out because of my knees (besides, I gave them the time off and someone had to watch the office).
ps: We all hunt front-stuffers.
Work pretty much scrubbed my hunting this year. Montana doesn't have a general ML season but no matter: I didn't get out but two afternoons anyhow. I guess it will be fox hunting with the .32 Tennessee long rifle if the weather keeps us in snow... ~AMMOe

Muzzleloader deer season in San Diego starts this Sat (Dec 16). My Hawken and I will be out for our yearly hiking trip.

I'm heading out tomorrow night for Ohio's second weekend of gun season. After these 2 days, I'll still have 4 more between Christmas and New Years. Ahhhh, the smell of charcoal and sulfer smoke in the damp woods!!

Chalk up a doe. While sitting up on a ridge about 3/4 miles back off the road, deep in the woods, I was offered a clean shot at a doe as it tip-toed through the woods. At 22 yards she stopped to get a better look at that object sitting next to a tree and she stared quartering towards me as the sights settled on the point of her shoulder.
The early morning chirping of birds, chattering of squirrels and the soft rustling of leaves was broken by the primitive ftt-POW like that of our fore fathers that only a flintlock can make. The smoke lay heavy at first before it drifted through the woods. Ducking under the cloud, I could see that the game was lying stone cold dead in it's tracks. After relishing the solitude of the moment, it was quick work to prepare it for the short drag to an old logging road and a trip back to camp.

Man, we've got ourselves a regular Dickens on our hands. Good writeup!

I just bought a Lyman GPR .54 cap gun I already had a flint. I'm going out for a contoled hunt in Southern Ont starting Nov 30-Dec4. Got a nice 10 point Last year with my T/C Hawkens last year and a doe withit the year before. So I'm hoping to bloody my GPR this year.
