I've been known to hunt blacktails with a muzzleloader now and then. I usually hunt down by Mt. Rainier on the Champion timberland it's one of those pay to play spots that costs $13 per day or $27 for three days. I like it down there because it cuts down on the pressure so you have about 120,000 acres almost to yourself, I can't remember seeing more than 5-6 hunters per day. It also has some huge blacktail bucks and bull elk. It's perfect for muzzleloaders cause it's fairly thick, not alot of shots more than about 150-200 yds. I shoot a .54cal CVA inline, with 100grns of pyrodex and a 365grn conical it really hammers those blacktails. Just watch out for those log trucks!
