Muzzleloader season

lung buster · Jan 5, 2012

I went up to my sons spot and pulled the camera card today. It had 441 pics in 10 days of mostly a group of 5 does, probably the only 5 in our township,lol. He will be using his cva wolf, 70 Grains of 777 And 200 grain shockwave. He has some unfinished business to take care of this weekend. Last week he got to take his crossbow out that Santa got him. We had 3 does come in and he missed one clean. Poor boy had to wait about 15 Min before he got a shot. He was a mess. He told me he thought that he was gonna fall over from not being able to breath. He was lucky on the buck he got during youth season, he never had time to get shook up then. This was his first case of "doe fever". Can't wait until this weekend!

I think I have a plan coming together.

TC Omega
100gr Pyrodex
245gr Powerbelt (unless my shooting tomorrow of some various bullet combos leaves me with something grouping better)

Lol JD!! Nah, Ron, Stacey and Adam have one and theirs feel lighter than the KBH. Down deep inside I would love for the girls to eventually get the deer hunting bug which the oldest one has hinted to me she has. It would be a great rifle for her/them to use for youth gun and muzzy season.

I love my Knight Bighorn but something lighter and of great accuracy would be great to break the daughters into the world of deer hunting. :smiley_coolpeace:

CJD3 · Jan 5, 2012

IF I find the ambition, I will pull out the Thompson 50 cal. flint lock, Iron sights
90 gr. of FFF
with a patch and .49 ball.

If I have one standing in the yard, I'll just wip out the Omega. 100gr. of 777, and a 250 (maybe it 200 gr) Shock wave.
(about 1" groups at 100 yards and 3 holes touching at 50 yards.)

matt hougan · Jan 6, 2012

I'll be hunting Sunday and if need be Monday morning.

80 gr FFF Goex
325 gr Hornady Great Plains

Fluteman · Jan 6, 2012

I'm going out tomorrow at lunch to check the cams and possibly hang a stand for Saturday morning if there's anything worth a darn on cam. Corn is still standing, so we will see. If I do go out, will be with a bow, as I have never broken down and bought a Muzzy.

Carpn · Jan 6, 2012

Ain't hunting . Duck is out here and I killed a good number of deer already . Might take the bow out the end of January once we get some snow down.....not sure I wanna buy another tag tho.

dante322 · Jan 6, 2012

The last time I took my genesis to the range i was having some accuracy issues. a friend of mine sold me on "bore butter" and i think that was the problem. I havent had a chance to get out with it and try some different powder / sabot combos without the use of the butter. So I will be shooting my daughters muzzy this weekend.

CVA maghunter .45
simmons 4 12x40
100 gr 777
200 gr shockwave
winchester primers
