Long thread and I don't know if it's been asked in a while but..... How do the cold carry folks hunt with a muzzleloader?
Do they view that type of arm inherently more dangerous? I'm not being facecious.. I'd like an answer.
Both my #11 percussion cap inline and flinter would be difficult to get ready without at least taking my eyes off the game.
I believe the guys when they say they can "hunt" cold but to me it's more of a personal preference, this from a person who worked in industrial safety for 10 years, prevention, investigation and reporting.
If you "can" take the safer route, you are dense not to.
This from a person who makes a living teaching wildlife management and hunting practise to forestry students and guides in Germany and Alaska.
Translation of the last sentence - whenever I work whereever, my counterparts and I are handling rifles. I cringe at the thought of all those chambers hot...
