An acquaintance of mine probably wasn’t surprised to hear about the cougar that wandered all the way from South Dakota to the East Coast before getting SUV’d in June on a Connecticut highway.
Sheesh. Talk about missing your exit and ending up in the wrong town!
This cougar first surfaced in eastern Minnesota in December 2009, and then traipsed over to northern Wisconsin later that month. It then roamed America’s Dairyland from January through May in 2010. It apparently then went north into Michigan’s Upper Peninsula and crossed into Canada. Sometime later, it crossed back into the United States and headed south through New York state before going on to meet its fate in Connecticut.
DNA from this cougar confirmed it originated in South Dakota, and wandered through Minnesota and Wisconsin about a year before getting killed by an SUV in Connecticut.
As I was saying, my acquaintance can relate. Years ago, he became tired while driving on I-90/I-94 in south-central Wisconsin, so his wife took the helm near Mauston. Before dozing off, he reminded her to take I-90 to La Crosse when the highways forked in 25 miles.
No problem, she said. When he awoke, they were pulling off to gas up. In St. Paul, Minnesota.
No problem. They found a motel room, slept off their irritation and took Highway 61 to La Crosse at dawn. The Mississippi River is so pretty in autumn, y’know.

Best for Hunting: Muzzleloader vs Slug Gun - Shooting Times
Yeah it has harvested deer every year with one shot kills to 283 yards. use a savage .50 caliber smokeless muzzleloader and 250 grain sst and you can easily shoot it to 250 yards with extreme accuracy. these guys in the magazines for some reason dont like us that use smokeless muzzleloaders, thats why you never see anything written about them.
I shoot both. I have a 50 cal muzzle loader and a 12 GA Rem 870. If I am sure I will be shooting stationary targets in good weather the 50 is good. If on the other hand it is a bouncing whitetail in the woods or a rainy day the 870 gets the nod. That 870 will do 3 inch groups at 150 yds with a 385 grain Winchester Platinum doing 1900 at the muzzle. Plus the 5 rounds are comforting to have when that deer busts out like a rabbit.
Personally i feel both are more than adequate for taking deer,bear etc. size game. But what i do not agree with is the unfair comparison of only two makes & models actually one make/Mfg. and two different models. There should have been a wider range of makes & models to give a more Fair assessment of Slug Gun Vs Muzzle loader. I have use both and with equal results. In any event if i were going with either i would have no reservations about using either one. Just would like to see a much broader range of comparison being done. Savage model 210 in 12a is one awesome accurate slug gun as well as it’s new version the model 220 in 20 ga, it has the same weight sabot and energy of a 45/70 load which was posted some time back in a major gun magazine. It was Super accurate and hit hard. One needs to look beyond just the two that were showen in this film clip. As for the quicker loading of the shotgun, remember it’s the first shot that really counts and they may not be a second.
In Iowa, frontstuffers are legal during the shotgun season, but not the other way around. So in order to get more hunting opportunities with less of a hardware investment, and to also gain better familiarity with just one gun, I opted for the muzzleloader. I can’t really say I made a better choice of gun, but the muzzleloader gives me more time in the stand than I could get with a slug gun. This choice is based on legislation and regulation, not performance or pride of ownership. I’d like to add that accuracy, ease of cleaning, and the simple pleasure of being able to see more clearly in front of me after the shot have all recently become part of the regular “non-smokeless black powder replacement” muzzleloading experience since I first tried Blackhorn 209 powder. The Savage 10ML still beats all other production frontstuffers under $1k when using Savage-approved smokeless propellants, but I am satisfied with what Blackhorn does to push a Hornady SST-ML out of my H&R Sidekick (equipped with an aftermarket, carrierless 209 breech plug). It took me quite a while on the range to achieve something like the consistency demonstrated in the above video, but once I found that magic combination of the right primer, bullet, sabot, and charge weight, I don’t see where I’m missing anything in first-shot performance in a legal deer gun for all the other-than-archery seasons in Hawkeye Country. I suggest that whether it’s a new slug gun or a late-model muzzleloader, both types of guns now shoot well enough with quality components or shells to deserve high quality optics where legal. I spent more on my scope than I did on the gun, and I don’t regret one penny of the price!
