Muzzleloader Kansas Antelope
#35684 - 11/08/05 06:42 AM

I just drew a Kansas Muzzleloader only American pronghorn antelope permit for this October. There's only an estimated 2000 animals in this state and normally less than 150 permits are issued each year. Less than 20 muzzleloader permits. Always a tough hunt with a muzzleloader. No scopes are allowed so it is mechanical sights only. This limits ranges to around 120 yards for everyone but the liars. I imagine I'll use a Traditions Pursuit Pro inline loaded with 100 grains of Triple 7 and a 300 grain sabot. Ranges are long and the antelope are very wary. Should prove exciting.

Sounds like a great hunt! Good luck. I hope to see the story & pictures posted after your success

Have yiu tried shooting with a peep sight? They make longer range shooting easier than just plain irons. I use a Williams Receiver peep sight on my Knight Wolverine 50cal. It works very well & getting a bead on game at 130-150 yards is posible for me.......where as with straight open sights I am limited to just over 100 yards before the sight itself blocks out most of the target. I love peep sights for this reason.
