Thanks Mike. Nice to catch up on the changes. Seems like the sport is always changing. BH209 for one. I never thought we'd have DOW endorsed smokeless powder for our muzzleloaders, be here it is, and I hope it works well in my rifles. I notice its just how I thought Savage should have went about it from the beginning. A slower progressive powder which actually works best in smaller quantities with heavier projectiles.
Anyhoo, I have just two more evenings that I can hunt 3rd season for my buck. Where I hunt there are both mulies and whitetails. But I typically see mulies at the locations I hunt. Tomorrow evening and Friday evening. I spent the first two days holding out for a trophy but now I've decided that the next buck (big or small) that walks within range gets it.
