I bought a muzzleloader to get into the field a couple weeks sooner (whitetail...possibly black bear) and I'm curious as to what items will benefit me most in the field. I purchased a T/C Omega and I plan on using Blackhorn 209 powder instead of pellets. I believe the T/C Quickshot is designed for a quick reload of powder charges. Is it realistic to expect to be able to reload quickly enough (with practice, of course) to shoot a second deer before it runs off? In my experience with rifle or shotgun, you gotta be quick even then to get a good second shot off.

Anyway, I don't want to buy or take unnecessary things with me into the woods; I like to travel light.

So what do you take into the woods with you, and what have you regretting lugging along or wished you had brought (for day-long hunts...not hunting camp).

Thanks!
