My favorite deer hunting is muzzle loader season here in Maine. Last part of the season when almost no one is in the woods and usually snow on the ground to track. I almost bought a smokeless muzzle loader as I would love to try one. This one is very cool! Could not justify it for here in Maine though as the chance for a shot at a range beyond my Encore is extremely slight. I use the Blackhorn 209 powder which cleans up just like smokeless. You can shoot many shots and never have to clean it till you put it away. Has a little better velocity that other powders but not to the smokeless level. Very accurate in my guns and 200 yard shots are quite doable. I would bet the average shots at deer here in Maine are well under 100 yards though. Might still have to get a smokeless one though just to play with....they intrigue me...
