In the area I hunt in NY the only way I am allowed to shoot a doe is either with a bow or muzzleloader. I have very little confidence with a bow so I decided to get a muzzleloader. I bought the cheap CVA Wolf through the mail never having handled one. I must say that I am quite impressed with what I got for the little money I spent. I have not fired it yet, but if I get a 4 inch group at 100 yards I will be more than satisfied since any shot will probably be a good deal closer than that. It just didn't make sense to me spending more money for a gun that can only be used during a one week season of which I probably won't be able to hunt more than 2 or 3 days. For this reason I think the CVA's are one of the best deals one can find in hunting.
