How many will be using their Muzzelloaders this year in shotgun season and why? I have the last 2 years and think I will again this year too. Ill use mine because its cheaper than shotgun slugs and I think it will out shoot the shotgun anyway. Crappiepro

Flintlock for me. I am tempted to carry my .45 half stock caplock to change things up a bit though. I remember one of the few times I took a shotgun my wife was concerned about having stray pellets in the venison ;D.

Muzzie only for me. Sold my slug gun a few years ago. Slugs prices have gotten crazy so I decided I would just hunt with the muzzy.

I like the one shot challenge. I haven't shot a slug gun in years.

Neither during the modern gun season. Will be shooting my new .358 BFG custom. In MZ season will shoot my .45 PacNor Savage. I haven't shot a deer in years with a shotgun but may get one of my slug guns out for the military draw hunt.

I us only MZ during shotgun season. I do like the one shot challenge as well. But I still have to buy the bullets for my brothers for their shotguns... LOL.... So it's no cheaper for me. I've got 4 MZ and I'm trying to get them to use them only. But they like the thought of getting to shoot more than one deer if they get the chance... Told them I've shot two deer within a minute three or four times with my MZ and I've only done that once with a shotgun. Then again I have only used a shotgun when we are doing drives... LOL BB

I like to relax a bit with shotgun or PCR in hand after bow hunting the weekends & then the last 2 straight weeks of the first bow season. I'll breakout the smokepole when ML season opens-up in December.

Depends on the stand I will hunt. I use a handgun, savage ML and a H&R slugger depending on the stand I hunt.

Depends on situation. Plan on taking the .357 to the parks with the 20ga 1100 as the back up. I've got a .45 muzzy to break out this year. Thanks again danf.
