Bucket list

[jamesthomas]

O.K. Guys and Gals What is on your hunting bucket list with your favorite muzzleloader? Mine is either a Maine Black Bear hunt (I hear they get pretty big up there)maybe Vermont? or a Elk Hunt out west, Which state would be the best for muzzleloader Elk? I would probably get a .54 for this hunt or double ball my .50 cal. What say ya'll.

I wanna do a bunch of eastern squirrel hunting.

Since I live out west, and have already done a bunch of mule deer and elk hunting, my goal is to go the opposite route. I would love to kill a nice eastern whiltetail buck, preferably in northern Georgia with my daughter, before I die. I missed a nice buck there last year, and the hunting was quite a challenge for me, like I was put on another planet. So the glove has been thrown down for me, there's my challenge.

P.S. I had no idea that country was so beautiful, and the low altitude made it that much more enjoyable. Bill

Elk? Colorado! Rifle? 54cal! Flint of course.

Moose, 'Bou, and the ever elusive Wapati...those big Bear in alaska would be good too! Oh and I wouldn't double the ball the .50 I would just go up in size...playing with a .729 myself after using a .62 last year. When hunting animals the size of a Buick size DOES matter.

Ruffed grouse in northern Wisconsin with my double flint 20 gauge. And when I've missed those, I'd like to miss a few pheasants over dogs in southern Michigan with my Carolina smoothbore 20 ga. flintlock.

Spence :grin:

The very first inkling of an idea I had about muzzleloaders was the cover art on a Boy's Life back sometime in the fifties. A frontiersman was going after a standing grizzly after having had his rifle smashed by the bear's swiping paw. I believe he had a bowie knife in his teeth. I don't want to confront a grizzly with my .50 flinter, but I'd settle for a fifty pound black bear in West Virginia or North Carolina.

[chance]

I would love to hunt both moose and elk. I would like to pack in on horseback and use my 50 flinter. I can almost smell the campfires and meat cooking. I would also like to take the turkey grandslam with a smoothbore flinter!!

[WH .50]

My dream is for my son and I to go out to the rockies and do some Elk huntin together!! He's only 7 now but he's growin' so fast.He's been squirrel huntin' with me for the last 2 seasons and I hope to get him out for deer this year if he can just learn to keep quiet. I just hope he gets old enough to go before I get too old to take him!! :grin:
