I have only used my TC Omega from my very first gun season to current (7 years). I am toying with the purchase of the Ruger 77/44 before this coming season. May just wait until next year. We'll see.
I took my buck last year at 114 yards with one shot through the heart.

ML
it is just a longer range gun.
I will break out the shotgun for ground stalking or deer drives though.

i have always used my ML during shotgun season. The confidence level was always higher when I have it with me.
This year I am purchasing a new Marlin 44 mag. I am really looking forward to shooting it for the first time.

The old 870 with all of her upgrades. Hastings rifled canteleverd barrel, Nikon 3x9 BDC Slughunter scope, camo stock, shooting Hornady SST slugs. Now that I look at it the only thing 870 about her is the action. Shoots 5" group at 125 yds can't ask for more.

I had taken deer with rifle, shotgun, bow, and handgun before taking my first with a muzzleloader last year. I thought it was a blast. Maybe it's the big puff of smoke or the challenge of having only one shot - I don't know. For some reason, I had more fun hunting with the ML than anything else. I plan on using it again this year.

Except for two years of using a shotgun, where I just did it 'cause I hadnt, I used a ML when not using a pistol (or take both).
Main reason? Trigger pull = better accuracy for me.
Might be old, might be worn but my old Renegade with set trigger is my go to gun for under 100 yards in the past.
Even gunsmith worked on triggers on all the slug guns Ive shot and the two I owned left lots to be desired to me. Too many years of varmint rifle shooting I guess.
I like a light trigger and do my best shooting with such so it is mandatory for me unless flat dont have access to one for some reason.
Just my 2 cents
God Bless Steve

well usualy i use my Brolin .50 cal this year I think I just might get old fashioned and take out my Hawken .50 am a very good shot with it just allways been afraid of banging it up to much. This year I figure might as well cause I know with that ML any deer I fire at is meat for the freezer.

I killed my 1st shotgun deer last year. 2 of them. They were my 44th and 45th deer of my career. I have killed 2 with a .44 mag pistol. The rest have all been with a .54 Knight muzzleloader.

ML during firearm for all the reasons stated above.
I am of the understanding it would be legal to carry both a shotgun and a ML during the firearm season. I have thought about using this tactic while in a particular ground blind where short shots would be common.

The price of slugs, and the RECOIL. I can shoot the smoke pole all day for the price of a couple boxes of slugs.

Sold the ML and bought a 44 mag. revolver with 8 3/8" barrel. 2 for 2 with it over the last 2 years. I might take out the 870 12g. if I am still after a buck.

I bought a H&R USH 20ga 7 years ago and still haven't killed a deer with it because I usually carry one of my White muzzleloaders during gun season. Might take the slugger just to "break" her in. Then again I do love the one shot challenge.
