In this HuntLeague Podcast, we sit down with Tony Smotherman — the “TravelinHunter” from CVA and Bergara. Tony shares the story behind his nickname, his journey from outdoor writer to one of the most recognized voices in the muzzleloading community.

Just before recording the podcast, Tony helped me order my first Muzzleloader (Accura MR-X) opening up an entirely new world of hunting opportunities. I learned a ton from Tony about the history of muzzleloaders and how they have evolved over time. This is the beginning of a new era of muzzleloaders as CVA launches their new muzzleloader that changes the game once again!

We dive into:

-How Tony became known as the TravelinHunter

-The evolution of muzzleloading technology from the 1970s to today

-The groundbreaking Paramount & NEW Endura line of muzzleloaders

-Why bolt-action muzzleloaders have changed the game for consistency & accuracy

-The history and legacy of Bergara Rifles and CVA

Key Takeaways:

-Modern muzzleloaders shoot how far???

-Cleaning and maintenance are easier than ever

-One Cartridge for all North American big game?

-Storytelling is at the heart of hunting and connecting generations of outdoorsmen
