Simply, because it extended my hunting season. Then, thereafter, i chose to hunt with a muzzle loader during the regular rifle season, so for to learn more about muzzle loader. For the past 5 rifle season, i have used a muzzle loader exclusively. Having one shot never seemed to be a handicap. In my experience, i only was given one shot, no matter what kind of rifle i was hunting with. However, going forward, i probably, shan't use a muzzle loader any more, except during muzzle loader season. Using a muzzle loader for all seasons has been a joy, and a pleasure, and i have learned so very very much doing so.
