Hello I am new to this site. I am from Vancouver Island,BC Canada.
I am just getting in to muzzle loading. Not sure what to buy. I am looking at the Traditions 50 cal Hawkins woodsman I will be mostly hunting deer. Maybe the odd moose or elk. And lots of shooting of targets. What do you guys think of my choice.

Thanks for the welcome. I am just getting into muzzle loading. Want the extra challenge. On Vancouver Island we have a large population of black tail deer, some of the best black bear hunting. And we have elk on the limited entry draws. Then you can go to the mainland, various other species to hunt.
I was told to go with the 50 cal. Easier to get supplies. Ive been driving trucks for about 14 yrs. local and long haul,concrete mixers.Mostly long haul. Lots of winter driving. Hauling live seafood. Thanks again.

I love huntin with my smoke pole.
I can help you with any technical and ballistic questions you may have.
But really these days they are all great guns..... just pick one with the features you want. alot of people will tell you that a 54 is required for moose or bear.... not true! there are plenty of 50 cal slugs available that would do a fine job!
