Got the Knight dusted off, sighted in, and ready to get some meat! Although I'm thinking that it would be nice to take one with my old side lock mountain rifle, it's been quite a few years since I've shot one with a round ball.
It looks like the weather will be nice and cool. I hate to swat at bugs when deer hunting!
What will your M-loader of choice be come Saturday?

Hunting with my 2010 CVA Optima, good ole deadcenter bullits and 90grs. of BH209
Had hoped to pop one with my .357Max but with the scarcity of deer that didn't happen.

Saw the thread title and thought you were cooking on the grilll  . Already got the Knight and the Traditions sighted in and ready-have been for awhile since I (or my daughter) use them both during firearms season anyway. Quit using the shotgun for deer many years ago....I did like the Encore talking to the deer this year though  Haven't had the old side hammer out in a LONG time....hmmmm.... |

I'm leaving tomorrow morning to crossbow hunt that evening in Illinois. I will be gun hunting Illinois starting Thursday morning. Will hunt through Saturday morning...so no Indiana MZ for me.
Woodmaster and myself have given up our Indiana spot to a young father taking his young son out trying to get his first deer. I'v e known the father since the day he was born. He will be set up in a blind on our food plot. He just bought the youngster a new CVA Wolf MZ.
I don't really remember the last time I hunted with a MZ but my present MZ is a T/C Omega in stainless with a gray laminated thumbhole stock. I shoot the SSTs with 90 grains of 777.

I got my Encore all ready also. But like you Parson I have been eying my old round ball gun. I think if I have the time this week I will get it out and shoot it a couple of times and see what happens.

Mango = that green pepper that grows in our gardens that most of the country calls bell or green peppers.
Sweatsack = hooded pullover that most people refer to as a hoodie or sweatshirt.
Punkinball = deer slug fired from a shotgun. Watch the look on someone's face from Texas when you tell them you kill deer with punkinballs!
