Of y'all use n hunt with your ML during Gun/Firearms season ?

I do, plus of course use them in ML/Primitive weapon season. I no longer even own a centerfire rifle, haven't hunted with one in years.

I prefer to use muzzleloading rifles during the regular rifle season as much as possible. I only have one high powered, it's a single shot NEF Handi Rifle in 280 Remington. Very accurate but the ammunition is scarce and expensive so it mostly stays in the safe.

I’m generally try to be done before ML season, but the last few times I’ve hunted I used a crossbow during OK muzzleloader season because using a muzzleloader would cost me another $300 out of state license.

I no longer hunt, but when I did, it was with a .54 Thompson Center "Renegade" Flintlock.
I used that rifle in regular firearms season, as well.

That particular Renegade was my first Muzzleloader and the rifle to which all other Muzzleloaders I bought, had to measure up. All muzzleloaders from then on, had to match or exceed the Renegade's ability, execution and achievement.

Does this answer your question?

We have an early 2 day ML season here, i used my rock sparker. I saw no tick toters. Saw none in Firearms season. Ah but one made a slip up & i got blessed in the last ML season.

Its been many years since I still had a tag left by the time gun season arrives. Last year was the first in many that I used my old 06. However, now that the ML bug has bitten me pretty bad again, I hope to save at least one tag to use my ML during the rifle season.

i do. The vast majority of my deer were taken with muzzleloaders.

 

[brownisdown]

I always hunt both seasons with my muzzleloade.This year I am trying out my new t/c Omega sml in 45 cal.But with this cold weather here in Indiana it will be awhile before I get to pull the trigger on it.

All I've hunted with are muzzleloaders since 02. I finally got a BP 12ga too & a ROA pistol, so there will be more hunting with them as well.

Precise aiming is required so as not to ruin the backstraps..

Headshots only!

 

[The long rider]

Been using a muzzleloader since 1993 during our shotgun season. They are much more accurate and will shoot farther and flatter than any slug-gun that I know of.

 

[ElDiablo]

Been hunting exclusively with muzzys (and bows) for almost 30 years. Yes, most of my hunts are during any weapon seasons. Zero challenge for me to use a centerfire for big game.

 

[Pathfinder60]

I own 3 firearms...a CVA Accura V2 Plains Rifle in 50cal, a CVA Paramount in 45cal and a JTS M12AK semi automatic 12 guage shotgun for home defense. I also hunt with a TenPoint Vengent S440 crossbow.

Dog gone man after them poor Chipmunks, you real feisty

 

[Hausser1]

I have no personal issues with those nose biting, loud chirping, hole making, damage causing....
I am a meat hunter! 50 or 60 backstraps will make a nice meal. I grind the rest..

LMAO Your love of them chipmunks is right there with my love for these dang armadillos around here. I do not pass up any opportunity to use them for moving target practice. I'm not eating the dang things though. Them chipmunk backstraps are the perfect Kabob size already aint they

Count me in as well. Resurrected this original Rem 700ML with some new wood from Boyd's, trigger from Timney and Badger Ridge bolt/breech plug 209 conversion.

I saw the writing on the wall a LONG time ago. As many other rigs I've used etc over the years, I decided from here out to only hunt with my bow and ML. The diet it takes to feed the others has all been labeled, stacked and stored with a few carrying Gamma Seal lids. Also just picked a very early TC Hawken for a song to complete my ML needs. I don't feel handicapped one bit for making meat. Well, I forgot. I also use a .41 Rem Mag Ruger Super Black Hawk Hunter with handloaded 210gr Speer Deep Curls. I can honestly say, I'll never need to purchase ANY factory feed or component ever again and I have 0 regrets or complaints. I have 10x more enjoyment from shooting my bow and frontloaders anyway.
