Put Some Spark in that Muzzleloader

By Glen Wunderlich

Since my old reliable Knight Revolution muzzleloader never needed much tweaking to be ready for the season opener, waiting until the last week didn’t seem problematic.  On hand were a supply of Barnes bullets and fresh Triple 7 powder and primers from last season, which were stored in a sealed plastic bag.  An upgrade in power with a new Leupold scope meant there’d be some sighting in.  But, that would be the case anyway – new scope or not.

Muzzleloading Tips

By Glen Wunderlich

With the close of regular firearms deer season, the herd will have an opportunity to return to less-pressured activity before the advent of muzzleloading season.  Of course, archery hunters have no waiting period, but relatively few of them are willing to brave the oft-harsh elements of December.  On the other hand, muzzleloading participation continues to rise, largely based on refined equipment available to deer hunters.

Modern in-line muzzleloaders have paved the way for thousands of Michigan deer hunters to remain afield for some late season action.  In Zone III, the season runs from December 7th through the 23rd – the most generous in the state.

Here are a few thoughts to get the job done. Read more
