Who's looking forward to late ML season, and what are you shooting?

[mowin]

I realize some on here hunt with the ML instead of shotgun or rifle, but the majority don't. 

I'm ready for the upcoming season.  I've had a great bow and rifle season, even though I haven't taken anything. 

Shooting a TC pro hunter, BH209 with Hornady SST 300g.  Watch out swamp donkeys.

Thompson Center Hawken with .54 cal Green Mountain Barrel. It’s a great gun.

I’ll also be taking a young man out and he’ll be using my TC New Englander .50 which is a fantastic all around field gun. Hoping for some late season success for both of us.

A new to me CVA Optima will be out there with me this year! A huge upgrade from my 40 year old TC Thunderhawk.

[Robhuntandfish]

I will prob be out a couple of times cause I will miss hunting.  But only shoot if a big buck most likely and if it's not super cold.  

Thompson center impact .50 cal.  2 Triple 7 pellets for 100 grains and 245 grain powerbelts.   I know a lot of guys don't like the powerbelts but I already have them and they have worked for me.  My muzzleloader is my most comfortable gun and it's dialed in to possibly be my most accurate gun at 100 yards.

You know you have a invite, as well as @Bucksnbows. 

Can't guarantee you a deer, but can almost guarantee you a opportunity.

I just purchased these.  Haven't shot them. Hitting the range this Thursday or Friday. 

[cervidchasers]

This may open a can of worms but for BH209 what volume are you all shooting?
I noticed the tubes are inconsistent in their markings

[DirtTime]

CVA Wolf .50 Cal with the original Konus scope

Hornady XTP .45 Cal 300Gr bullet with a .50 Cal Harvester Crush Rib Sabot 

Hogdon Tripe 7 50 gain pellets (2)

CCI Primers

 

Seeing the normal late seasons coincide this year I'll be out at least a couple times.

 

Still tryin to work out the details for the Holiday Season, but I'll be out there at least once or twice as well.
