Who is crazy enough to chase goats with a smokepole

[DeathFromBelow]

Me. Lol. Who else loves blackpowder antelope and what is your poison. I shoot a CVA Optima V2 Long Range. 28 inch Bergara Barrel.  123 grains Blackhorn 209 and 250 gr8 Federal Bor Lock Bullets. Last year I got a doe at 263 yards with open sights.

Have to obey all of Colorados Blackpowder laws so:  open sights only, no sabets, only loose powder,  and others

[DeathFromBelow]

203 yards open sights

Wasn't feeling great so only had one day to hunt.

Awesome! Great jobs with a black powder! Love the Shriners cowboy hat too!

Very cool congrats

That’s very impressive with the CO laws. Great job.

In ID a rifle tag is almost impossible to draw.  A muzzleloader tag has slightly better odds but we are all traditional here.  All lead bullets (no sabots), loose powder, caps or flint (no 209), open sights and exposed ignition.  Got a decent buck in '16 at 40 yards and a small buck last fall at 90 yards.  Lyman GPH or Traditions Hawken in .54 for me.  If we don't draw then we can always get an archery tag.   We go all spot and stalk because sitting in a blind bores me.  It's tuff and I've never got one with a bow but my son did his first year trying it.

They should make the same laws here dudes shooting 450 yards with a muzzy ain’t very primitive

Congrats. Always cool to see people doing it the old fashioned way. Id like to see more late muzzleloader elk hunts in AZ. Cut half the late rifle tags and make them late muzzleoader tags. G&F still make the money and far fewer bulls will get killed.

Love muzzy hunting, but do you waste 21 points on it ?

[AverysAdventures]
