This will be my 35th season hunting deer and my third year hunting deer with a muzzleloader. I was lucky enough to get this guy two seasons back. I got a couple bucks last year with a center fire rifle, but no deer with the muzzleloader. I hope to get one like him or bigger in the morning.
Anybody else going this weekend? It's the season opener for muzzleloaders here in TN.
Have a great season, JayW
Good luck. Never realized how much I would enjoy muzzle until I bought a CVS in-line about 15yrs. ago. Even when I don’t make a muzzleloader season hunt, I’ll sometimes carry it tandem, during modern gun, to my stand. Have harvested a couple of hogs with it doing that.
A ml will do a job on them.

ML hunting was my favorite for years. MS.went to a primitive season using single shot breakdown rifles as well as muzzle loaders . While metal shells are nice no bucks are allowed during the first season . Rather than becoming an outlaw I wait till first gun season to go . My primitive weapon is a CVA Elite stalker chambered in the marlin 444 topped with a 3x9x40 Nikon . Bucks are allowed the second season .
never used one before but I know lots of guys who do . hope you whack you a whopper with it
good luck and nice photo ….
Thanks guys.
I use a CVA Optima break action inline muzzleloader with 110 grains of Blackhorn 209 to push a 250gr. T/C Shockwave in a sabot. It works for me and does a good job. I did not get a buck this year but I did take this nice doe for the freezer. Have a great fall, JayW

No. The muzzleloader season goes until Friday and the regular rifle season starts and goes until the first week of January. We have a two buck limit here in TN and can get several does depending on what hunt unit in which you harvest them.Quote:

Our gun season starts the 17th and will be using muzzleloader.
