    That's my logic. But even then with a primer on it, a muzzle loader is still not a firearm under law. It is a loaded muzzleloader with  the primer on. Similar to a cocked crossbow in a vehicle.

     

    In todays day and age I wouldnt trust anything though ..

    Never really though of this, but just thought about it with a friend. 

    Topic- Distance from a house to discharge a muzzleloader hunting. NYS, does not anywhere that I can see give a definite answer.  

    his view- Its the same as a crossbow and the 250 feet would apply.

    mine- A muzzle loader would be treated the same as a firearm and 500 feet would apply. 

    Any thoughts?

    You would be right 500ft for the muzzy..you may not find it in the regs but best believe  its one of those cite you for it and fight ya in court things.. 

    Oddly enough a muzzle loader dont become a firearm until a primer is put in the barrel which is why you can drive around with it loaded...same goes for muzzloader pistols u dont need a permit for them unless you have the components to make them fire like powder and such

    There just as bad.  My fenced in yard and 3 large dogs help tremendously. The only predator I really worry about is hawks. Had them swoop down after a chicken with me and the dogs only a few feet away. 

    Our chicken coop is fenced in he was just trying to find a way in the back side. We have 5 roosters so whenever something gets anywhere near the coop and they see it or hear it they start making noise.. when they start goin off before 6am it gets my attention

    I shoot a 50 cal TC Omega, using 100 grains of triple 7 and a 250 gr bullet. 
    It shot a nice group at 100 yards at the range yesterday. 
    At 200 yards, the bullet hits more than 36” lower. 
    I had never tried sighting in beyond 100 before and didn’t expect such a huge drop between 100 and 200 yards. 
    Is it normal to have such a dramatic drop between 100 and 200?

    that dont sound normal at all the most it should be is maybe 6 inches low if that ..if you are using a scope check the rings especially the rear one   I had that happen once when the rear scope ring came loose from the base and it tipped the back of the scope up and it made the gun shoot low

    Well my son had a nice 4 pointer lined up with his Crossbow and SNAP !  His string snaps ! I called Field and Stream ( Latham Farms ) to get it Re Strung and they said " No Problem , anywhere from 1 1/2 to 2 weeks "  Flying Arrow in East Greenbush does not have their Voicemail setup , nice Business ! Anyone know of a place to get a Crossbow re-strung in 2-3 days max ? Albany area or close by ?

    Had 4 flathead come by this morning. Half hour later, a shooter buck. No shot as he never left the thick stuff.

    20211106_163146.thumb.jpg.36ebc100104a29cab007eadb44b76051.jpg

    Came out for an hour or so, and headed up in the back till dark. Couple dandy bucks spotted up here yesterday. Coming out of the thick bedding to the left.

    Putting phone away. Will check back later.

    Good luck all!

    Hoping you get a shot at one bud..
