No, changed over from shotgun to muzzleloader about 5-6 years ago and dont plan on going back anytime soon
Plan on checking its zero this weekend
Good luck on the hunt
Checked zero with the new bullets -- shooting Barnes Expander MZs instead of the Hornady SSTs as I wasn't impressed with the performance.
Didn't need to touch it -- ready to go for Monday. I'm not much of a deer hunter, but always sit a few days of the gun season.

If the weather is bad...will use my 20 ga shotgun.....if the weather is nice, I will use by .54 cal Thompson Centre percussion. Good luck to all.
Good luck guys. Looking forward to Monday.
Good luck and play safe !

I would use the muzzleloader-but with this regulation to fully unload the gun at the end of the legal shooting time-or load it only at the start of it (like removing primer would not be enough)i find it painful to remove the charge and the bullet in my inline gun, so i rather use the slug gun.Slick ,quiet and no extra fuss.
What? Some new rule ?Quote:

Unfortunatelly ,the rule WAS always-You can have the charge and the bullet in the gun ONLY while traveling from one hunting site ,to another one.Quote:

Before-and after legal shooting hrs,the LAW treats muzzleloaders UNLOADED only when : -The primer is removed-and there is no charge and bullet in the barrel.
On this forum there are many former LEOs and MNR employees-they can confirm.
But-unfortunately, that is the law.
No logic there either...........but that is another story.
