I have always believed that if you hunt muzzleloader season in New Hampshire, then you have a leg up on the rifle season, and a best chance to get a shot at a big buck, or any deer for that matter.
Deer that are shot at, don’t hang around, or at least in daylight hours.
That said; muzzleloading is your best chance at hunting game which has not been spooked.
But there is more.
In Line Muzzleloading rifles are easy to purchase, very cost effective, and super accurate.
But don’t wait till the last minute to get your muzzleloader gear.
In the week prior to the season which begins in my Zone M on October 31, everybody is out shopping and finding few bullets they liked, powder that was out of stock. And they are sometimes mad that there was none left! Who is to blame for that!
WORD TO THE WISE
Be super ready now, shoot your muzzleloader and get all your gear now while it is in stock!
Stay clean, scout ahead, keep your hunt clothes away from odors that cling, and watch that wind.
Luck is where preparation meets opportunity!
Good Hunting!
