Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Slug Gun or Muzzleloader

I am not sure anyone has said this explicitly yet, but maybe you want to hunt them both?

Every year I hunt both lower MI and our farm in west-central IL - many days I actually carry both guns afield. I will sling the ML when moving, walking in or out, still hunting or on a drive and in the same day I could sling/drop the slug gun and sit a ridge or field edge with the ML out on pack or bi-pod.
The 12ga is set up with a 2-7x33 hvy duplex and the ML with either a 2.5-8 or 3.5-10x with CDS tested out to 400yards. (both with smokeless powder (IL) and BH209 (MI)

In areas east of the Mississippi and other states like it, I have not felt handicapped toting both guns. But, I am not hiking a ton of vertical either.
Just a thought if you have the time and funds to buy and wring out both.
