I hunt within 30 minutes of Concordia,and this should be a really good year. Lots of 2 1/2 and 3 1/2 year old bucks last year. The best part about Muzzelloader season is that if you're unsuccessful,you can come back in December for the regular gun season. Only catch is..... you have to use your muzzleloader. BTW,scopes are now legal on your front loader....Best of luck!
