Last Fall I accompanied my girlfriend and her family on a muzzleloader cow elk hunt in Idaho’s beaverhead region. I had already committed to a rifle tag in another unit so I was just along as a glassing hand and a beast of burden.
We had a great time and I caught the ML bug hard. ML season seems to be where the action is and I liked it a lot more than hunting the early post rut like I’m used to. Long story short, I’m in the market for an Idaho-Legal Western-ignition ML.
So now I have some questions for you folks. How would you scope out a deal on a ML? Is there generally a good time of year to buy one or an annual deal that runs somewhere?
I’m not in any hurry to buy, but I know muzzleloaders.com is having a sale on the Knight Wolverine and the Knight DISC until the new year. For the wide open hills of Southern Idaho a DISC would be a better choice than the wolverine, as the wolverine is kind of a brush gun, right? Is $300 for the wolverine or $500 for the DISC a screamin’ deal, or do you think a better deal will likely come along sometime before next October?
I really appreciate any input. I’m a rifle and recurve hunter who is completely out of his element. Whatever I do get, I'm planning on setting it up with a peep sight and spending a lot of range time with it.
