Default What to spend my money on?

Well I've asked around and narrowed my choices down to 2for a gun to use in the Southern Tier of NY. (Can't use a centerfire in this region)A slug gun or a TC Omega. What would you use? The extended blackpowder season is not a big deal to me, butease of use, and acccuracy are. I know that the muzzleloader is more accurate, butI like the repeat shots available with the slug gun. I just wish I had money for both, that way I would have the best of both worlds. BTW, I've never used a ML before, but use rifles and shoyguns regularly. I also have 4 boxes of remington buckhammers sitting on the shelf. (From a previous attempt of sighting an Ithacaslug barrel for my Benelli Nova, didn't work out because the cantilever rail was mounted on the barrel crooked[:@])

I would say get the muzzleloader.I love the challenge and the long season. What's wrong with a little challenge? The gun season is crazy anyways.

Being from the Southern Tier also,I had the same problem,until I put my shotgun away and got a muzzleloader.It's more accurate and offer less recoil than some shotguns.My area switched over to rifle,but I still carry the ml afield most of the season.

ML - accurate, better range, less recoil and why not take advantage of the extended season while still achieving your primary goal.

The first shot is your best chanceI don't worry about follow ups.Make it count and notch your tag!!
