Well tonight I leave for Providence, KY for the 2 day early muzzleloader season there. The plan is to get there tonight and scout around a little tomorrow. There will be five of us there including Grouse, JD, and JJ. As it worked out for me I'm using the White 97 .50/Nikon Monarch 3-9X40 shooting Batchiefs 495gr Ashcan/70gr fffg Swiss BP for my woods gun and my old reliable Savage 10ML-II/Zeiss Conquest 3.5-10X44 for hunting over open terrain. Also bringing a Triumph/Nikon Omega/250gr Bonded Shockwave/110gr BH209 as backup! Looks as if the weather is going to be about perfect for Saturday and Sunday. HOPEFULLY at least a couple of us will connect!
