Also TONS and TONS of squirrels. They are extremely large this year. Got about a dozen in the frezer for chili and stew.

Muzzleloader on a bear would be fine, all about shot placement like everything else. We shoot them with bows up here My dad shot one a couple years ago with a hickory selfbow we made.
