Very interesting Thread. I have hunted with a 28-bore muzzle loader a number of trips mostly over released birds. Complaint from hunting partners is that my hunting with this is far to slow for their liking. Always the same reply from me " It is not how many but how". Very enjoyable for me and I have never felt under gunned. I might add that one of my favorite deer seasons is with a flintlock in PA. Kudos to those that also enjoy the hunt with ML's.
