Trapper53 here, I have been following for awhile and decided to join in. I'm 68 years young and new to muzzle loaders. Have picked up a 50 caliber percussion rifle, a 12 gauge percussion double barrel, a cap and ball 45 caliber revolver through the years. I also built a 45 caliber pistol for a kit, 40 years ago, but never shot it.
I started hunting gophers on the farm when I was 10, with a 410 single shot. I worked up through varmints, pheasants deer and elk through the years with centerfires.
We have never traveled or vacationed, but now that I'm retired my wife and I are looking forward to visiting, fishing and hunting in all of the states that we can.
We have never been there but have been buying deer preference points in Wyoming, on advice of a friend that has passed on. Hopefully I can find a good DIY hunt there.
If time allows the only international travel we may do would be Australia. My father always talked highly of it from the time he spent there during WW2.
I am looking forward learning more about muzzle loaders and being part of this forum.
Bless you all
