I got into muzzleloading mainly to increase my odds of being able to draw a tag here in Nevada for cow elk. Everything is a draw, even deer. The rifle cow elk tags are tough to draw, so I started looking at how many people applied for muzzle loader tags, and it was very few. I have also since carried my muzzle loader on any legal weapon hunts. Since I bought my first muzzle loader, a CVA Bobcat, they have changed the cow elk ml season to the middle of the rut, which is even more exciting. I have taken one Elk with the Bobcat, and one with a Traditions Pursuit. I have also taken one deer with the Bobcat. I usually mix up my application for deer to include rifle and muzzle loader hunts, depending on the area and when I want to hunt. But even with that, nothing gets my blood boiling much like elk bugling at you, and then "smoking" one!

Later,

Marcial
