RE: how fardo you shoot a muzzleloader
Paul hit it right on the head. Generalizations prevoke actions of defense. Personally I think this type of BS has to end between hunters!! Going back to my original comment hunting is personal, why make it harder then it has to be....you do it your way and I/we do it mine.
FWIW, the harvest is icing on the cake and has nothing to do with why I love it so much . Hunting for me isn't a season it is a whole year event. YesI want to harvest game, otherwise why would I hunt???? Just not the focal point to what I consider a successful hunt.
