Muzzleloader Shotgun

I went turkey hunting last Spring and plan to go again this Spring. I borrowed a shotgun last year and want to get my own this year.

I saw a show on TV and the woman used a muzzleloader shotgun for turkey hunting and thought it was neat and challenging.

Any thoughts on using a muzzleloader shotgun? Good idea or bad idea? Suggestions on make and model?

Thanks.

That sounds cool!....so I'd say great idea. I'm looking for a 12 ga. or 10 ga smooth bore to accompany my kentuky flinter and my trade rifle.

Muzzleloader Shotgun

Hi All I am new here. I have hunted pretty much exclusively small game with a t/c new englander 12 gauge I have had for namy years. I have takey grouse rabbits pheasnat and even a couple turkeys. It is fun to do and is really a good feeling to do it that way.

Muzzleloader Shotgun

The cool thing about a muzzleloader shotgun is that you don't give up anything in range to a modern shotgun (as opposed to muzzleloader rifles that just cannot make those 300-400 yard shots that are possible--even if not usually recommended--by modern rifles).

Hunting Tip: Keep Your Blood Flowing in the Cold

In the winter months, when the tempurature drops well below freezing, it gets harder to stay warm enough to be comfortable. Yes, wool socks are better than cotton but; battery powered heated socks are even better. And yet our feet end up cold at some point anyways. When we are hunting we are usally trying to be as still as possible, for as long as possible. The problem is, when we aren't moving, our blood circulation slows down. We especially lose...
