    My first muzzleloader was?

    I ain't had mine nearly as long as most of you. I found the love of BP later in life. My first and only bp gun so far is a TC Renegade in 50 cal. I have shot many deer with this gun in the last 16 years and hope to do a few more.

    co2 dischargers do they work?

    They most definitely do and yes they are. I have one that is from TC that I've used for about 16 years now. For unloading or blowing a stuck prb out they can't be beat. Just seconds and your ready to reload. I shoot a TC Renagade cap lock. Mine has never failed me.

    Possibles Bag

    Thanks guys. Have to pick one method and try it. Now this might sound dumb, but do you do the inside of the bag also?

    thoughts about adding sling to your rifle

    I shot a small buck and a doe the first year I hunted with my ml, no sling knee deep snow. Year two I had a lace on sling and won't go hunting without it.

    Possibles Bag

    What do you clean and treat your leather bags with? I have a nice bag and want it to last. I use it deer hunting and noticed that water makes spots on it. I've never done anything to it and was just wondering what you guys do to yours?

    Wow, short huntin season!

    That is a great huntig story with a better lesson after the shot on how important it is to follow up with a good search to see if you made the shot. When I was about 11-12 years old my father would come home once in a while during deer season and tell me and my brother he shot a deer but...

    to leave loaded or unload

    Here in NY our ML season runs Dec. 10-18. The weather is usualy cold and snowing. Just to play it safe I use a co2 discharger and clean the gun. Next morning put a fresh load in and I'm good to go. This works for me as I have never had a misfire while hunting. There's nothing more dishearting...

    Hunting on heavily hunted public land?

    I agree with Spot. I've been hunting nothing but state land for 20 years now. I've done alot of scouting as I hunt turkey, coyote & fox, and deer on them. I hunt deer in bow,rifle and ml seasons. I find the thickest nastiest can't get into deer hiding thickets and setup on them. The bigger the...

    T/C Hawken + Renegade rumors are FALSE.

    Yes they did and do offer a lefthanded model. The dealers I went to only had righthanded guns in stock (1990-91). The owner of one small gunshop turned me on to this person who won a ml in a raffle. Long story short, I bought the gun for $100 in the box brand new. This is the main reason I...

    T/C Hawken + Renegade rumors are FALSE.

    The TC Renegade 50 cal. was my first and only ml. I'm glad to hear that they are continuing to produce the sidelock guns. I bought a righthanded gun even though I'm a lefthanded shooter. Back in the day I figured a lefty had to shoot a righthanded gun so I went with it. No regrets. I've never...

    TC sidelocks

    I got my imformation from New York Hunting& Trapping 2007-08 Offical Regulations Guide. I live in the Southern Zone. Our season runs from Dec. 10 till Dec.18. 9 days for me. I guess my bigger complaint is the dates. IMO I think they should give us another 2 weeks during the Muzzle Loader...

    TC sidelocks

    No respect for the past. I got into hunting with a ML because my childhood heroes wore leather and fur. They carried long rifles and wore coonskin hats. No capes and leotards here. I wanted the challenge of doing it the way they did it. There is a special feeling you get carring a primitive...

    Percussion nipple cover

    I'm with roundball on this. The Kap-Kover is the best. I have used one for 15+ years now with great success. Besides keeping everything dry you will never have an accidental discharge. Safety first.
