RE: Muzzleloader, how long have you....
I have 4,
a Tc renagade in54cal. I have bought in the mid 80's and taken a number of deer with. the first 15 or so years I shot patched roundballs and went to maxi's when NY allowed them. Its mostly retired now.
I have a TC new englander shotgun that is my go to squirrel gun. It funny but I use a ML for deer for the extra season,not out of great love for the ML, just forthe extra days outside.But I don't really use a modern shotgun anyorejust the New Englander strange huh?
I have a TC Black Diamond ER in SS with 2-7 Burris Fullfield. My current standard ML. I sort of wish I had waited for the omega but I have no complaints on theBD it shoots well enough and with a breech cover I have used it with no problems in pouring rain. 4 deer so far
Lastly I have a Peterisolikentucky in 50. just in case NY ever has a primitive season. Never hunted with it yet
