Well it hasn't froze over here but it sure is burning as of late. Illinois boy here.
I don't have much knowledge of traditional muzzleloaders except I wish my old man would hand down his old man's kit hawken. He traded 51 dollars worth of silver to the local baitshop owner many years ago for that kit. Him and his brother went in on it for a Christmas gift to my grandfather. What a gift! I don't think my grandfather ever drew blood with that rifle. My dad always wanted to take a good buck with it and have it mounted with the rifle then being placed in the rack. He doesn't break it out ever anymore and I wish to be able to do that for him but it might be a long time before that happens.
I'm on the modern muzz site and been kicking around the idea of getting a traditional rig. Figured it'd be wise to get on here for the trad knowledge. They have it there too but can probably get more here.
Thanks for having me!
