The muzzleloader season is sneaking up on me. My last archery hunt was a few days ago. I then headed to PA to visit my mom. They were calling for more rain today so I'm not archery hunting. Each year our neighbor, who turned a chunk of old silo into a bar, has a Halloween event with a hay ride, complete with monsters, for the kids. I'm committed to helping setup for that tomorrow. The event is on Saturday evening, opening day of muzzleloader. I'll probably get out for an hour or two in the morning.
I fouled the smokeless muzzleloader this after noon and checked out the Eliminator 6 scope. I was pleasantly surprised that the battery was full strength. Burris also makes the OracleX on my crossbow. For some reason, they don't have an off switch for it. You push a button on the scope to activate it, but instead of turning off, it goes to sleep and for some reason continues to consume power. Each season, so far, I've had to change the battery at the beginning of the season. Fortunately, it has non-volatile memory and doesn't lose settings.
Fortunately, last season at the end of Muzzleloader, I got all the setup done for this year. So, the only thing I had to do today was foul the barrel.
