Little did I know getting the hunting crew on board would derail the thread this much. I did make a mental note on that though. Some interesting info on muzzle loaders in this thread now. I kept and keep going back and forth on one. I've decided to let it simmer another year and see if I want one of those or to upgrade my bow. I'll most likely end up getting a new bow because the only time I would use a ML is for one week up north ( 5 days tops depending on weather ), and I don't mind using the bow up there so........... I use my tc encore . I love it. In the last 5-10 years I've shot more deer with it than my rifle by far. I use it up here during the mz season and carry it at Letchworth during firearms season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will say I’ve met some of the people I’ve argued with on this thread and the truth is they are great people and the fighting isn’t worth it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gun hunt only with a muzzleloader..And I see your problem with the sabot less bullets..I tried that once and it was ridiculous where the gun threw those. All over the place. I gave them away. And you guys can take over a topic anytime,I even enjoy reading pygmys posts which isn't always the case. Back to the roots! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my partners shot a TC Encore on my 2004 trip and shot a 6x5 that was bigger than my 6x6.. he used the 385 Great Plains bullet which shot well in his rifle... We could have gone 3 for 3 but after we had two big bulls on the ground, my other buddy was not going to settle for anything less than a wallhanger, so he passed on several smaller bulls.. It wasn't like we needed any more meat.. BTW, this was unguided DIY...But I must admit unit 76 was ( and still may be) unique at that time, with a high population of elk , lots of accessable public land, and relatively few tags issued... Other places in CO you might see an orange vest behind every bush...I saw more MOOSE than I saw hunters....Could have shot a couple of nice Shiras bulls if I had a tag.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many preference points did you guys have? I was limited this year. I wasn't smart enough to start collecting points while we talked about it over the years. I chose the area because it statistically was decent and it was close to 100% chance on drawing a tag. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a bunch...12 or 14 as I remember.....The only units that required more were the elite units up in the northwest corner of the state.. Still, good hunting can be had in many other units I bowhunted near Montrose a couple of years previous ( OTC) and saw elk nearly every day.. Good luck and keep us posted.. I'll check and see if I have any of those NE bullets left.... I'll never make it back out west and I use PRB for my local ML deer hunting.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would sort of hope broke back mountain talk wouldn't get you excited. Not that there would be anything wrong with that. A guy my brother works with wants to try for PA elk. It got me interested a little, prices aren't horrible for a non-resident, and no air fair. Just something added to the bucket list. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in next year. Doesn't Tennessee have a season also? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hemmed and hawed and missed this year, but next June I'll be submitting the application. Like you said, it can't hurt. Probably go for the archery season, seeing I'll be likely tenting it if I was ever to get a draw that's a decent time of year to be sleeping outdoors for a week.
