[QUOTE="EastTNHunter, post: 5809206, member: 8364"] I’m going to be honest and selfish for just a minute. I like ml season. It has nothing to do with flintlocks and buckskins or lack of synthetic base layers or four wheelers. It’s because I hunt highly pressured public land that is dwindling in huntable acreage and increasing in pressure. There are a few public spots that I will not hunt past ml season (except for the very end of rifle season after most people have hung it up). There are fewer people ML hunting than rifle hunting due to the “difficulty” of using a muzzle loader. This is due to: -people are too intimidated by the thought of front stuffers -people have had a bad experience with muzzleloaders in the past with a misfire -people don’t think that MLs are accurate enough -people don’t want the hassle of all of the accoutrements For the above reasons I like to ML hunt more than any other season. I DON’T want the season to be simplified for the lowest common denominator of intelligence or laziness and me basically to have to give up some of my favorite spots that I only get to hunt during ML. I hunt with a smokeless MUZZLELOADER that loads from the MUZZLE, not because of increased power or distance, but because it’s easier to clean. I haven’t killed a deer with an ML beyond 125yd that I can recall. I know that I’m being selfish but I’m being honest [/QUOTE]
