I was wondering how many of you hunt only with your ml during the rifle season in states its aloud?

RE: how many hunt only with ml's?
 

I have only used muzzleloaders for years. I like the challenge. Even if some people do not feel a inline makes a challenge. I hunt with all kinds of rifles, shotguns, and smoothbores.

I do. I have no use for centerfire anymore. Flintlock/percussion only from now on.

Have used MZ only for firearms season for 10 years, but then, I'm in a shotgun only county. I consider it an advantage and deserve no sympathy. :)

Hunt only with ML? I just can't do it. I like to sit in a stand with my bow - though I don't shoot anything with it unless I get a crack at a really good buck (not interested in blood trailing a doe through a lot of really thick pines and briars). And HEY, I love creeping through the woods with my .41 Mag Blackhawk. Can't leave my Browning 1885 45-70 home alone all season - it would come to resent me. And dang, what about the B-78 25-06 - it loves to kill deer, bobcats and coyotes. So many choices, so little time.

I switch 'em up throughout the season. Probably use a ML about 20% of the time.

In Ohio firearms season allows shotguns, muzzleloaders, and pistols.
I hunt with a muzzleloader only. Although recent designs of shotguns and pistols now offer very good accuracy I started using the muzzleloader back when it was the best option (for me anyway) for accuracy and have never seen a need or had a desire to change. I think in the past 20 years or so I've killed a grand total of one deer during gun season with something other than a muzzleloader. A buck back in the 1990s with a .45 Colt single action pistol I was packing that day because of heavy rain. With today's inlines rain isn't that much of a problem, so it's 100% muzzleloader hunting anymore. I can still whack them with a .451 bullet, but I can send it their way a little faster. ;)

I deer hunt about 95% of the time w/a ML. Every once in a while I feel sorry for my 280 and take her out.

I hunt with X-bow long bow and compound bow during the bow season and with a MZ in all the gun seasons I could use a High powered rifle here in AR I just chose to use a MZ. have since 1962. Lee

I hunt in rifle country but this year my browning 30-06 and leupold VX2 will be riding the pine. I've been shooting and working up loads in my omega and it really deserves a chance to bagit's firstdeer.I've shot it enough in the past year to know it's limitationsand Ilook forward to the extra challenge of the single shot.

Muzzleloaders are all i will hunting with anymore , the general rifle seasons are a joke in the last two states i have lived in . Gave up hunting with center fire rifles in 1975 .
