I've always bowhunted during muzzleloader seasons. I said I wasn't going to give in to the muzzleloader crazy since they were more rifle than a lot of rifles. But alas, I ordered a muzzleloader from Len this year. He didn't get my scope in in time for me to use it during New Yorks northern tier smokepole season though. I'll make a trip during the late season in the southern tier maybe. I don't really have a place to hunt with a gun here in Maryland.
