Bummer you only get three days to muzzleloader hunt. In VA. we get two weeks early ML season in November, an three weeks late December to Jan. 4th. I'm tagged out, killed five deer (spike/8 point/ three does) with my muzzleloaders this season. Happy New Year!!

Yep, my math wasn't too good...Weather here is supposed to be rain an windy through Sunday then cold. I hate windy days, but sometimes we have no choice. Hope you get a big one! How does your ML season work, use remaining tags? Good Luck!!

toy truck hey it's no big deal on the math. i myself sometimes have to use my fingers & toes to count properly lol here in ohio yes you use your existing tags no special muzzle loader stamps or tags. you are aloud 6 deer in a year but only 1 antlered deer. the most you can take in my county is 3 & then i can take up to 3 other deer in different counties. depending how many deer per that county. i have only twice killed 6 deer per year. some years 3 some years 2 & etc. but this year i have yet tagged any deer. first time in twenty years that i was skunked during gun season.oh i could of killed a spike on opening day & or orphaned a mama from her young ones . but let her walk & just point my gun at her & silently said bang.but have had my eye on two really nice bucks kinda got selective this year.but good luck to ya for the remainder of the season. the weather really only looks to be good for sunday. sat showing 90% rain but turning to snow late in the afternoon. monday same thing & tues showing some flurries in the afternoon.but i will keep dry in a ground blind .
