So, did the new craze of modern muzzle loaders start because of the loopholes it offered for an earlier or longer season, greater ease of procuring a tag and being able to use them in shotgun only states? I remember my dad going on a ML only hunt probably 20+ years ago with the Hawkins rifle we made together and I remember then never having heard of such a hunt. By the way, I am in trouble. My wife is already rolling her eyes as she walks by and see's the computer screen showing various muzzle loaders as well as the Cabellas catalog and she does'nt even know about the Uberti Cattleman I bought the other night, I'm still trying to think of how I'm gonna explain that one seeing as I just got a Winchester model 94 30-30 a month ago.
