In just a few short days the Jarvis Outdoors team will be heading to Western Kentucky to hunt with Tad Ladd West Kentucky Whitetails. This will be the fifth trip for the team and the first trip where all of us will be in camp hunting together. We will be running four cameras this trip and hope to capture some great footage to be able to share. Our muzzleloaders are dialed in for the hunt. We have made some adjustments to our muzzle loading set ups this year to improve accuracy. I did switch up my load by switching to a 250 grain Hornady SST-ML bullet with the easy load sabot, being pushed by two 50 grain white hot pellets and have achieved consistent accuracy of around 2.75″ at 100 yards. To get much better than that out of the old smoke pole, I will have to go to shooting loose powder and adjust loads to tighten groups up. That being said I am pretty happy with the accuracy and consistency we are getting out of a load using preformed pellets. If the forecast holds true we should be in a good spot with a cold front pushing through Friday night setting us up for a good opening morning on Saturday. I will keep you posted on how we are doing. Check us out on our Instagram account and on YouTube for the latest updates over the weekend. Wish us luck and stay safe out there!
