I enjoy hunting with a muzzleloader immensely. I use a Hawken style percussion cap from Cabelas and I like the idea of being traditional.

Michigan is not going to institute a flintlock only season, I'm sure. But if they did, my husband would just get me a flintlock.

I had no knowledge of hunting until I met my husband. But the fun has been, since the beginning, just doing it, whether you get a deer or not.

We love muzzleloader season because it comes in December when there's snow on the ground. We like to hunt in snow because it makes tracking so much easier. By the way, we bow hunt too. I've taken more deer with a bow than with my muzzleloader.
