Anyone got a deer or bear this year? Our season opens this weekend, wondering how folks round the country are doing.

Filled mine but not with a smoke pole. There's a late-season hunt coming up where I'm packing in to one of my favorite haunts where I plan to take a muzzleloader. Still another 6 weeks away.

CA. Most of our zones close just before the rut. Just filled my tag last weekend as the younger bucks are just starting to get the itch.

Yes but I cheated and used my longbow! Kidding, muzzleloader season doesn’t start for a while so I have to use a bow for now. This is in Vermont.

I have a bow I just haven’t had the time to practice enough to want to hunt with it yet since we got a newborn around now. I’ll probably be bow huntin next year

I’ve been a bow hunter since I was legally able to at 12 (same age as gun and muzzleloader hunting). Started shooting a recurve/longbow when my horse decided to break my wrist (long story). I absolutely fell in love with Stickbows and hunt with them now. Do it, you won’t regret it.

I have a compound someone gave me but there’s a guy In my state that teaches a sinew backed recurve building class I really want to take that (again once the kid gets a little older and I get my free time back)

Bow season here in Oklahoma. Been out a few times, still pretty warm though. Our muzzleloading season starts October 23rd. Hope the weather cools down.

Shot a yearling doe Saturday morning, a whopping 40 minutes into the season. 65 or 70 yard shot with my zoli zouave. With a 58 round ball though the heart she did not get far.

I got a nice cow elk, in our early season, but not with a muzzleloader, mod 70 win, I will get one of my muzzleloaders out for the upcoming deer and antelope hunts. I would love to take an elk with a muzzleloading rifle but at my age of 76 years old, it is hard enough with a modern rifle.

The 16th muzzleloading season starts in northern NY. I have the first 6 days off, hoping for success with my glinted. Wet days I will carry my percussion GPR.
