I think that the concern over dirt or mud in the muzzle was probably addressed by the Mauser Bros and others who made weapons for use in war years ago..
Cleaning rod attached to the rifle and cleaning kit given the soldiers...and some training on where to and not to put the rifle's muzzle..:0..and some physical training so when they had to hit the ground, their weapon was protected best they could.
Probably didn't help all the time..Not many wartime stats on damage caused by mud in the barrels from WWl or WWll etc..:)
The tape is a cheap insurance for those who fall down alot or cannot keep track of their rifle when traveling in rough country..:) I personally don't and never needed to but some do..:) Jim

and who are you calling Art, jimbo? I might be flattered, or perhaps just confused. But will certainly never aspire to, let alone attain, the perfection we have been granted a glimpse of... DN ps...tough to get "Art" out of a "D" and an "N"...

usually i tape.
i don't know what earworms are, but i can say the same of ladybugs. a passel of 'em ganged into a club member's rifle barrel when he snoozed on a warm day this season. good thing he saw one coming out of the muzzle when he woke up, 'cause if mr. buck had shown up about that time ...
abiding in Him,

Wonder if deer can see red with black spots as well as they see blue dots...

Why pack all that messy meat out of the bush when we can just go to the grocery store where meat is made? Hell,if they sold antlers I would save so much money I could afford to go Dolphin fishing. Maybe even a baby seal safari.

I have a blue hooded sweat jacket I wear in cold weather, in GA that is below 40 degrees. I would estimate I've killed over 30 deer in the last ten years with that same old blue sweat jacket.
Back in the 70's when most folks wore Army surplus BDUs, I had a buddy that wore blue jeans and a grey sweat shirt. I've seen him kill many deer that way.
I'm of the opinion that scent, and movement are more detrimental than color.
Just my opinion.

Might as well hammer a few nails at once with this post....Good thing that this buck didn't get the memo about my blue eyes, blue hat, and blue jeans. He was probably too busy laffin' that I even had the nerve to be watching him with an empty chamber, and a 223AI.....Have to admit though, that the tape was black.

Glacier JOHN is an astute judge of character and a class act, and and I'm bummed I messed up his screen name earlier when i was acknowledging that. Hats off to him for calling it like it is, about 3 pages ago. Some of you REALLY need tape your muzzles. Use whatever color you prefer but... tape your dang muzzles. Do it now. Do it often. -jeff

Dvdegeoge: Tape. Muzzle. Now. Please.
Use blue if you must. You and your buds are just embarrassing yourselves at this point. And you don't even know WHY. Do you?
Actually, keep on talkin'. All of you (the vocal, fight-starting minority). Suits me just fine, believe me.
