Centerfire rifle hunting that is. Over the past couple of years I've accquired a nice muzzleloading arsenal - mostly sidelocks. Now I believe it is time to utilize them and all I've learned on this site and through my own experiences. I've decided that rather than only using my MLs only during the special seasons, I am going to be using them exclusively. So for the next couple years I will only be bow hunting and for all rifle/ml seasons I will be toting one of my sidelocks. I think that will put more of a challenge on me. Looking back over my hunting career which started when I was 12 and harvested my first doe - and since I was 16 and able to hunt on my own I harvested at least one whitetail every year, going without a buck in only 2 or 3 seasons plus a handful of black bear. So the 'kill' isn't the reason I go any more. Just the thrill of the hunt.
