I gave up centerfire's in 2001. Just bow's and muzzleloaders fer me.

Our "gun" season for deerallows shotguns, muzzleloaders, or archery. All I've used for the past 10 or more years is a muzzleloader. The choice of inline or sidelock depends on location and weather. If shots will probably be less than 100 yards and/or the weather might cause problems with a scope the sidelock gets the call.

You can bet that I'll have my trusty T/C Encore Pro Hunter 209x50 during ANY and ALL firearm hunts I go on!

I plan on doing that this year. Chap Gleason

My state (Ohio) does not allow centerfires. After about 15 years of being smacked around by slug guns, I finally wised up and got a muzzleloader. Difference is day and night. Cheaper to shoot, more accurate, better triggers, less recoil, and the deer are just as dead. Even if I went hunting in a state that permitted centerfires, I would not feel undergunned with my muzzies.

I use a centerfire for about 4 days and the ML for 18 days in WIplus I use the ML for elk and deer in CO.

All muzzleloader for me.

The only time i feel dis-advantaged is when going after a big hog in a thicket with a M/L.i'm getting a Remington type cap and ball revolver for that reason.

Flintlocks for everything...ie: took a nice pair of turkeys this spring

For the past 15 years?
