Wow I forgot

how much fun shooting muzzleloaders can be. Got drawn for a hunt here in Florida so I went to the range last Saturday. I hadn't shot my T/C 54 cal Hawken in years, and my father, having had a recent quadruple bypass, cannot hunt this year, so I took along his 50 cal Renegade. I ended up not shooting my Hawken; shot the Renegade for 3 hours, and man was that a lot of fun. Gonna hunt with the Renegade; hopefully take a deer with it, for my dad. He'll be more than ready for Spring gobbler season. This site is neat; looking forward to daily visits.

Welcome to the Forum. Not surprised you enjoyed the Renegade. I've been shooting on for decades: accurate and reliable.

Best of luck with the hunt.

I got drawn for the second (Nov 3,4,&5) Muzzleloader hunt on the Lake Woodruff National Wildlife Refuge. I've bow (recurve) hunted the refuge all my life, but haven't put in for the muzzleloader hunt in years. Maybe it will have cooled down a bit. I got the second archery too; sure to do some sweating, it runs Oct 6-14.

Thats a pretty good hunt, My son and I were drawn for the archery hunt in Dexter Mary Farms after years of putting in for it.
If you live in DeLand we are close to each other, I live in Lake Helen.
Good luck with your hunt, There are some fine bucks in that place if it does not flood! :v

Good luck with Dexter Mary Farms.....I used to hunt it some when it was a private lease......nice piece of property, especially the swamp close to the river South of Astor. My dad and I both have taken some nice deer on the refuge with bows and muzzleloaders. Water is down on the river, but Isaac could change that in a hurry.

Welcome, and good luck on your hunt... :thumbsup:

Well I was successful with my dads Renegade. Not big for most our country, but not bad for a Florida swamp buck. 171 lb 8 point.

Good rack and heavy deer for Florida. Up here in the Panhandle most are quite small. Congrats.
