all that (shotgun/muzzleloader & muzzleloader) tags cost extra.. Then ya have ta put in for draw doe (two does in pic) tag... i think they need ta give more doe tags during gun hunts... just my ... Archery tis buck or doe.. only 1 deer... Tis suprising just how cold 28°, (heat wave for here), gets whin ya up in tree stand with wind blowing... Coldest hunt twas roughly just shy of 30yrs ago ... Foundry shut down for 2 weeks maintanance... We went ta MN for Christmas... Temps were around 60-80° below 0 with wind chill... Bro & i went archery... Have never put thsatmuch cloths on..Bro said be out 30min tops... thought piece of cake... We were in tree stands, wind howling, roughly 30yrds apart. Within first 5min, i was ready call it quits... We sat... just about 30min into it. A Dow eases towards my bro. We had mits, pull ed off then goves... He draws back... Then ping ping ping, his arrow falls off string hitting every limb.. He used fingers... glove messed up.. He got a trigger release for Christmas... If deer would have showed up @ my stand.. i couldn't have pulled bow back... deer just watched & eased on... Sometimes these wins... Awesome memorries... The true Trophy...

Our hunting is over, trapping now. Spouse has been making wax dirt for the cold, snowy sets.
In the bitter cold, not much moves here either.
Good luck.

very little experience in trapping, do know if ya get a skunk in trap, go ta creek, skin it under water standing up stream... Basically do the archery deer hunts. Bought two .50 in-lines, first was used & never cleaned. thought could get it cleaned, with all the new products, twas wrong, & finaly found a .45 in-line but tis for a person with longer arms than me, put scope in it , & not proper eye relief... Stll prefuree 45 ball & cap sidelock, both are in , started new collection here... Got 3 weeks of muzzleloader season going on now, slug/muzzeloader, was few weeks ago, lots of deer taken. Farmers got crops in... not much area ta hide, few groves of trees, archery hunters, so deer usually avoid them. Been a lot of deer taken during the muzzleloader season.. It gonna be a tough season for archery... 5 deer take n last year... Might haveta think outa the box, had two young does last night within range of tree stand, they come from behind, couldn't turn around & shoot, sitting back ta tree, they omoved out threw thicker brush ta right... at least seeing deer... Last year @ this time we was doing some ice 🎣 fishing, it no were thick enough this year... Best wish's...

What's the max range for a muzzle loader,Colt? That would depend apone the type, in-line vs old school & the shooters ability... Ask the experts in the muzzleloader section...

Sorry ta hear of your loss... Up here, hunten/fishing is a big thing... Not sure about Michigam, here it been family/friends get tagether & hunt.. The slug/muzzleloader (back in 70's didnt see in-lines) hunts were very short. Buck only 3 day hunt, aply for doe tag, 1-2 day, had ta hunt then weather got doe tag or not.. Now they have slug/muzzleloader season & right now its 3 week muzzle... Just got a .45 in-line, prefure them over the .50 .. Need ta shorten butt stick so get good eye relief, hopen ta use it next year... my percussions, .45 Kentucky are still in ... Big differance of hunting techneek, With the longer muzzleloader seasons, & the in-line, see box stands open up... It a lot warmer sitten in box stand... You do any of the hog hunts ? miss that big time... Hunted the WMA's (public land) & had set up for whin they came inta the deer food plots & corn feeders, they followed the creeks... WMA's twas me favoret, Archery deer/hog & the 3 months after deer season.. Best wish's this season, hope ya have a good one.. Memories tis the true Trophy...
