Ive hunted deer for years, but always with a modern rifle or shotgun. How difficult is it to “get into” hunting with a muzzleloader?
Not difficult at all. Most states have established separate muzzleloading seasons for deer; some before the regular season; some after. Most shooters use a .50 cal rifle, but some opt for a .45 cal or .54 caliber rifle. Contact your state Fish & Game Department for any specific regulations pertaining to their seasons. Various states will have restrictions on caliber, scopes, projectiles, type of muzzleloader, etc.
