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

AZ, Unit 8

Muzzleloader bear opens statewide in Pa October 16 and runs throught the 23. I hope to make it out....

Muzzleloader deer opens in Virginia October 29, and runs for 2 weeks. Turkey is concurrent the first week and bear the 2nd week, so a good time to be in the woods there.

ML season doesnt open till November 6th here in Tennessee. I’ll check back in if I get lucky.

I'm in Tennessee unit L. Can't wait. Plenty of deer moving around right now. So if I can keep the poachers out hopefully the freezer will get refilled. Ran one off my little woods yesterday and heard two shots in the woods across the road about 1:00 this morning.

I’m in unit B and I feel you on the poachers. I hunted some land belonging to a family member for years. Every year was a running battle with poachers and trespassers.

I’m in Arkansas. Can you not hunt with traditional muzzle loaders during modern gun season in these other states? I think you can here. I haven’t hunted in twenty years but I’m thinking about getting back out there. Traditional only though.

I’m in Arkansas too. You can hunt with any type muzzleloader during modern gun. Muzzleloader only season starts this Saturday, and I’ll be using ML through modern gun.

DStovall, that’s good to know. I haven’t even looked at the Fish and Game rules for hunting. I am totally not ready to hunt this weekend. Still have to sight in that .50. Just looked at their website and it seems you get more hunting days using a muzzleloader. I’m in zone 15.

I'm in Tennessee and we can use bow, smoke pole, pistols, and modern guns throughout the regular gun season. I'm packing a muzzleloader rifle and pistol from October all the way through february.

I'll still be in bow mode, I'll switch to flintlock in regular bear season and then for the rest of the year.

 

[Ames]

I'll be down in the Adirondacks for the first few days of November, then back to Maine to finish up my 6 week season, all with flint.

I got out this afternoon once the rain slowed down.

 

[PhDBrewer]

This morning's hunt!
Not with a front stuffer... Carried it out traditionally though!

 

[kytrapper]

Kentucky had a two day Muzzleloader season Oct 16-17… Our rut is on… We have a week Muzzleloader only in December and can use Muzzleloader during modern gun….we only get one antlered tag….

 

[Stykbow]

kytrapper, I’d have burned my tag on that one too. Congrats on a really nice buck!

One for the small game, 64 yard shot on this hare. I think the hawken is enjoying its new life as a hunting gun instead of poking paper with its old owner.
