Well at least it's 2 less than it was before muzzleloader season opened here in Illinois. The reason is HB #127 2, Deer 0.
Last year I used an off the shelf Savage MLII because my Henry Ball hadn't been built yet. I shot the first 2 deer I ever killed with a muzzleloader last year. This year I was able to use good ole #127 and it performed well. I shot a doe in the morning of the opening day, and an 8 point buck later that afternoon. If it weren't for all the information gathered from this forum I wouldn't have been as confident going into the field. The loads I worked up before the season were from the advice of all of you on the board. The accuracy and range capability of this gun is phenomenal!
Interesting that here in Illinois what used to be pistol season in the counties that are overpopulated with does, is now open to shotgun and muzzleloaders as well. I will get to go back in January and try my luck again.
Thanks again to all of you that contribute to this board. It sure has made me more successful in the field.
