Last year, I did a still hunt on public land with my ML in December - not another hunter around! Don't think I even heard a shot. That is what I mean by "better atmosphere". Almost got my deer too, but even though I did not, it was great. I have used mine during regular season as well when my son had my regular deer rifle. The only drawback, really, is that you must clean the barrel at the end of day if it has been shot and do a pretty darned good cleaning after the season. Love the sight of fire and smoke coming out of the end!

Thanks guys!!

Oh come on man. Get in touch with your inner feelings.

Well, I've shot elk, mulies, whitetails, pronghorns, and hogs with my .54. I've hunted ducks, geese, grouse, pheasants, quail, rabbits and squirrel with a black powder 12 ga. So I guess you could say I like it.

i like .

First nothing.. then a sharp kick in my shoulder.. then nothing again...

For many years all I deer hunt with during the 2 week firearm season and the 3 weeks of muzzle loader season it is all I use,
I have several center fires from 243 to 300 win mags I could use. I just happen to like the muzzle loaders.

:D Al

Im hard core bow hunter, but when gun season rears its ugly head Im out with my TC Omega. :D Popped a few coyotes last year with it also.
