Hello from CO

Hi Folks,

New here...I have hunted antelope a couple of years with a muzz, going out for elk this year. Looking forward to improving my knowledge here!

Regards,
Jon

I think muzzleloader hunting for antelope is the most fun thing you never heard about. You really have to put the sneak on them, and they have ridiculously good eyesight. But in a good spot (CO public lands are fine) you get to try a new stalk several times a day, so it stays entertaining. I am NOT going to tell you my success statistics.

That is what I thought. It is crazy because you see bunches of them everywhere and they just watch you, apparently unconcerned. I had heard that they take off if you approach, so I figured you have to be a good and stealthy hunter to bag one with a smoke pole. “Sniper in a ghillie suit”

There’s a legend that that’s the origin of the name. Nobody knows for sure.
