[@lisasaltarelli6483]

Just a suggestion fire 2-3 caps before loading that will clear any fine objects or excess oil from the breach and give more reliable ignition. Congrats on a good hunt.

[@willisbyler811]

Hey Trent this was a great video no music straight into the hunt no sponsors no nothing just a great hunt Trent thanks again

[@orbitgaming2294]

“If its met to be then lets let it rip” 😂😂😂😂 amazing words from Trent

[@bradchupp9426]

Congrats, I've been muzzleloader hunting since I was 14 and I'm 30 now. I've never heard of anyone that put a good shot on an animal with a hang fire. Very impressive👍

[@craigambroson2482]

Less sporting individuals clear the nipple with a cap fire before loading. Only a very considerate sportsman off offers 2 warnings. Way to keep your cool and follow through. Thanks for sharing your excitement.

[@derekromitti3571]

you know luck is on your side after two dry fires and the bull just stands there. Nice shot....finally.

[@markcrawford2896]

Congratulations Trent !! That one got me excited just watching.. I will never forget my first ,,or any elk kill with a muzzleloader.. the good lord was with u that day 👍🤟

[@russellwatters5891]

"Well rounded outdoorsman" is Trent for, keeps me in the woods longer...lol 😂😅 Awesome bull, great shot! You're correct for continuing to aim on target after a dry fire. Sometimes the powder is slower to ignite for whatever reason. You may try a hotter primer, or a pellet powder. Love what ya'll are doing ❤

[@4america695]

Dam musket caps 😂

[@YsoSeriouss85]

You just took me down memory lane bud, I’m 38 an this year I finally was able to fill my first whitetail deer muzzle tag. But what I’m getting at was after I filled this tag I went out to try an fill another one, a beautiful snowy morning here in buffalo NY an I went out hoping to fill another tag on the last day of the season an man was it cold out. 8am an I had a doe come in at 20 yrds, she was behind a tree an I waited and waited for my shot an finally she stepped out an I pulled the trigger to a misfire, my cap got went from some falling snow an I never noticed it. I wasn’t able to get another shot at her but I was just so blessed to be able to get my first one this year an I’ve been hunting since I was 12. Great video this is what muzzleloaders are all about ❤

[@josephstephens3852]

Way to go Trent and Chase, nice bull. Trent glad you were able to get that gun to fire.

[@xziang]

Bet yaa take more primers with you next tjme. :) The old school film ca isters and lr bill bottles work great for primers and slugs.

[@johnecrouch2671]

I have very little experience with muzzleloaders. That was some composure to stay calm after not one but two misfires. Great bull and a great shot.

[@jordanstanley1996]

Way to go Trent!!! I absolutely love Muzzleloader hunting!! Super excited for you!!

[@jordanstanley1996]

I’m sure you may have already done some research but you may want to test some other powders and/or primers. My dad had a problem with a delay in his shot as well. I had him switch powder and primers and is shooting much better!!

[@hammertime714]

A mis fire is the most excruciating time with a muzzleloader. After the sound of the first misfire I was hollering , get a twig and ram that hole in the breech plug. Great job guys.

[@returnofsid]

3rd time really is a charm. You flat out tumbled him!

[@mervinhershberger7284]

Wow congratulations Trent ! Thats was nerve racking with the first 2 misfires!!! 😮😮 Good thing you held on target with that delayed fire ! I remember having misfires like that on deer ! Good job videoing Chase !! 👍👍👌💪

[@tonym3157]

That was crazy! Congratulations! Muzzleloader is my favorite way to hunt, I have never had a misfire could not imagine how nerve racking that would be

[@camotom1]

I like how you have ever camo on that exists..great time love you guys

Trent, that was so cool!!! Probably one of my favorite videos of one of your hunts! Really proud of you brother! Great job!!!

[@user-pq6iw5mc3s]

Hey, Mr., I think it's super cool to see you guys out there. Doing different things. I'd watched you for years. And all the technology kind of weirds me out. But to see you out doing the muzzle motor thing. I think it's pretty cool good luck.

Next time try a brown bear hunt up in Alaska, and just bring 3 firing caps with you. 😂😂

I've been really curious about muzzleloaders, but just can't get over the thinking about the variables like what you had to deal with with! Way to keep it together and make the shot!!

[@justinshupp8652]

Ooo man. You brought back a nightmare when that first cap didn’t irritate your powder. That exact thing happened with my friend last year but the bull was 10 yards away. He didn’t stick around for a second or third shot. Way to go Trent.

[@tylerhghs16]

Haha love it. Been there missed so many 170-180” bucks from thoses dumb caps so I’m glad I’m not the only one.

[@mikejohnson4233]

Way to go, I haven't hunted with the new muzzle loaders, back in the 70s the best one was the Hawken 50 cal. Good to 100 yards. Great hunt and all muzzle loader hunters can understand is the awful misfire. Good job, to a fellow Oregonian. Mike from GP

[@rareaussie6960]

Trent guy! I don’t often say anything! I enjoy watching you since you’re very first video! Trent you sir said one thing that hit a nerve and I had to say something! You said where do you stand in this whole thing! You sir are the whole dam thing over the years yes Iv seen the crew working together it’s beautiful to see! But if it wasn’t for you Trent there wouldn’t be a BORN AND RAISED OUTDOORS ! You gave up your job in the timber industry to follow a dream your dream! Iv watched you raise your children to be outstanding young people and you are the most selfless person Iv ever come across on any platform! The past few years you sir have taken a backseat and encouraged your friends and family and rejoicing with them through there hunts ! I’m a proud Aussie Iv been through the hardships of life! Only to be proud of a guy I’ll never meet one that I’ll take my hat off to and congrats you on your journey not just your hunt your life journey!

[@daneboro6847]

Nice shot with the muzzle loader👍

[@devildog090106]

Trent, if you get an empty zip fizz tube, they are water tight and will hold like 20 or 30 caps. Nice and compact and fits right in your bino pouch. That way if you need another it's easy to get to. Way to hold it together! Nice job

[@TonyAnderson-ic2gv]

[@matthewpeters5977]

Not sure Regs in Oregon but Washington you can use 209 primers now. Virtually never misfire. Good job.

[@MrBowNaxe]

Talk about an adrenaline rush! I'm still trying to get a muzzleloader elk tag... I've harvested deer with mine but no elk yet. Congrats on a nice harvest. Can't wait to see what's next.

[@ronaldhansen2585]

Amazing job fellas. What a rollercoaster.

[@savageskrut]

Awesome hunt Trent. Definitely keep making more Muzzelloaders videos. I know a lot of archery hunters are passionate about both.

[@drewbruchhaus8191]

Awesome video and way to keep the composure after two misfires and then a hang fire. My father and I got into shooting muzzleloaders a few years back and use the powder instead of the pellets also. We have hunted in pouring snow and rain before and haven’t had a misfire yet. One thing we obviously do is try to let moisture get down the barrel. Also not sure if it’s legal in Oregon being state laws differ but we shoot a magnum 209 primer. Federal 209A or CCI 209M. We got away from shooting any 209 muzzleloader primer or just the regular 209 primers. After a lot of looking into it those 2 magnum primers burn hotter than the regular ones giving better chance of burning the powder. Also for the breech plug CVA makes two different breech plugs. One for pellets and one for loose powder which has a bigger hole in it allowing the powder to sit closer to the primer. They also make a specific sized drill bit to run thru the flash channel on the breech plug bc even after soaking and cleaning with the fuzzy pipe cleaner we were amazed how much harden powder we still were able to remove outta the flash channel with the drill bit. Just a few things for thought that hopefully may help y’all or someone else who might read it bc the ole smoke poles definitely present a different set of challenges than a rifle. Thanks for bringing a south Louisiana boy into the elk woods this week. And as always good luck and god bless

[@brentstclair5006]

Very funny I love hunting with black powder. Here in Maine it is the last two weeks before it shuts down and then ice fishing begin. Love the weight of the gun and the surprise after the smoke clears. Congratulations!

[@bryancook8372]

That was awesome, welcome to hunting with a smoke Pole. What's your next BP hunt, blacktail or pronghorn?😊

Great video. I have hunted 1 deer, 1 antelope, and 1 elk with my muzzleloader and it was a blast every time. It can sure be frustrating when it doesn’t go off or when you miss and have to reload.😂

[@amandacraddock5117]

Really enjoyed this one lads, great to see new things being tried. Thought you boys were in the First Lite stable though, unless I missed something?

[@FATBIKEHUNTER]

I have hunted elk with a muzzleloader and rifle for 45 years. I took up archery about 20 years ago after many harvests and wanted a challenge like yourselves. My thoughts: #1- I put a mark on my ramrod when the gun is empty and when the powder is in the barrel that way I don't double the powder. #2- I always use a sabot for the first shot and a round ball for the second shot because when you get in a hurry to reload, a sabot can get stuck and then you are screwed. #3- A balloon over the barrel works great and you can shoot right through it. #4- a speed load is amazing so if you aren't using one, get one or more. They are plastic and hold your sabot, powder, and cap. You dump, cap, and shoot. #5- I use surgical tubing pieces to fit over the cap so they don't fall off or get the powder wet through the nipple of the gun. Legal? Im not concerned. #6- carry a side arm if your state allows. Bear and cougar in WA state hear the gun go off and it is a dinner bell to them. #7- In many states, a muzzy with a cap on it is considered loaded so take the cap off before putting it in the car. I have made a few muzzy pack dump videos on my channel if you want to check them out. Fatbikehunter KZbin

Put extra caps in the screw holes on the butt pad. I drilled out the breach plug hole a little bigger on my muzzleloader. I had issues with it misfiring. Hasn't done it since.

[@kylesimpson1054]

I knew a guy just bought 5-$89 muzzeloaders, lined them up on his passenger seat and just road hunted.. He was successful most of the time…

[@benklymochko6123]

So I don’t know if it allowed where u are but I had a muzzle loader that used percussion caps and they were horrible for miss fires. I ended up buying a conversion kit to waterproof 209 shotgun primers and have never had a misfire since.

[@tylerdallmann6780]

Check the primers they might b the wrong ones I also watch thp and on guy had problems with that and they finally figured out he was using the wrong primer

[@brucerhodes7827]

Just wondering what kind of bullets were you using ?
