This is also pretty much the way I've gone. Since moving to MN where I don't have the option of using a center fire rifle, it's been muzzleloader only. Shotgun has no appeal. I've gone back and forth about if I ever have the opportunity to move back to WY what I would hunt with, but honestly I think it would still be muzzleloader only. The only other thing I would consider is using a handgun. Rifles just kind of lost their appeal to me. Even the AR I built isn't really all that fun to shoot.
