Anyone here use muzzleloaders for upland and turkeys? I found a good deal on a very lightly used Navy Arms 12 ga SxS recently. The plan is to try to take a few scaled quail over my dog with it this fall and winter and a turkey in the nearby mountains next spring. Muzzleloader shotguns are not a “far or fast” option for bird hunting, but I’ve always wanted to do it. The plan is to roll some paper patch cartridges for upland stuff with #7 shot this fall and work up and pattern some turkey loads over the winter.IMG_0185.jpeg
 
Find a way to video this I gotta see
Quail season has kinda been a bust this year in eastern NM despite good rains last spring. The populations have not rebounded from 3 years of drought. Can’t guarantee anything on filming a turkey hunt, but I intend to try this spring.
