I use my muzzleloader 90% of the time. It is a CVA Hunterbolt 50 Cal. This summer I am working on getting a scope on it, but I have been using the firesights the last two seasons.

When I am not using the ML, I use a Mauser, 8mm with iron sights. Also very accurate as far out as I can see a deer in the woods.


I have been hunting the GR Thompson WMA out near Linden off of I-66 for the last two years, but have been skunked. Never even saw a legal deer and I put in at least 10-15 days a year in the woods. So, I am thinking of new areas and new tactics. My brother in law just got a job in Bowling Green (but got an apartment 40 minutes down the road...) so I was thinking that would give me a place to crash and try hunting AP Hill. I live in Falls Church, so it would be a two hour drive for me otherwise.
