Boomer,
Where in TN?? Looks like my late daughter's yard!!!!

What will you be using? Archery? Muzzleloader? Rifle?

TC Encore muzzleloader today Wayne but have been bowhunting up to this point. Once rifle comes in I usually use a Ruger No.1V in 25-06. I'm about 30 minutes north of Nashville. Rut is just heating up good here, lots of chasing today.

Anyone have any info on the new CVA long range muzzle loader ( like in 300 plus yards!). That is going to be a game changer I believe. Only in .45 caliber though.

I just looked up a half dozen "You Tube" videos and the absolute "best" groups shown would be where I'd "start"! Not for me, thanks. I shoot a Bad Bull (smokeless powder) muzzleloader with 140 G of IMR 4350! Shoots 1 ragged hole! (Of course, it's cost prohibitive but groups to 300+ yards)!
Hope this helps, Capt. Chris

Holy smokes ( no pun intended) 140 grains powder. A little recoil I guess?

Do a search on Bad Bull muzzle-loaders. Pretty amazing. The rifle weighs (dry) 10 1/2 pounds.
Best, Capt. Chris

Boomer51,
The 25-06 is one of those great calibers that first was a wildcat then became a factory round.

In your area,are fairly long shots (150 yards) the norm??

In my area,about 50 yards is pretty much tops.

A few years ago,an archer harvested a 305 lb whitetail Buck just a few miles from y home.

Haul that out of the woods and it is uphill both ways!!!
