Nothing better than a day hunting with a traditional smokepole. I have killed a lot of good does with my .50 but haven't got a buck with it yet. Muzzleloader season in Indiana is after firearms season so everyone usually has their buck by the time muzzleloader cones in. I really enjoy hunting with my muzzleloader more than my other guns even if I just kill a doe or two. I also have a .36 that I hunt squirrel, rabbits, groundhogs with. Nothing better!
