Let’s start with the wet. Last Saturday, October 24, was the last day of a week-long muzzleloader hunt. A muzzleloader is any gun that is loaded by putting the powder and slug down the barrel. It is not as easy as loading a conventional firearm; however it’s not that hard once you learn the proper formula for you gun. I prefer two Pyrodex pellets (gunpowder) and a 290 grain sabot (bullet slug). The actual ignition of the powder occurs when the trigger is pulled and a small firing cap is exploded. These guns are very accurate and effective for harvesting deer.
