Deer retirement tools

muzzleloading black powder rifle close up

Last week I posted about missing a legal opportunity to kill a deer in our garden by not having a bow and arrow handy.

Another tool to have in that line of thought would be a muzzle loading black powder rifle.

These weapons have their own window of time during the year when one can kill a deer and still be within the bounds of the law. A muzzle loader will cost at least a few hundred dollars and some time to learn the skill of how to load this older firearm technology.

cva bobcat

you can pick up a CVA Bobcat .50 cal muzzleloader for $50-85 most places. I want to say mine was around $75 new, and my dad got one at a gun shop for $50 cause the stock was a little dinged up. about $30-50 should buy you enough balls, caps, and powder to shoot for a long time. and remember, you can hunt with it during regular gun season as well in most places.
