Maybe the part where he said don’t forget that you left it loaded and cause an injury to yourself… He meant if you double load it next season...

if you can't fire it at least put some masking tape over the muzzle or a brown paper bag and rubber band and write loaded on it so you don't double load next year. but when you can it is best if you get it sighted in and clean it proper or it may well not go off next year for you.
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

It's best to put a witness mark on your ramrod so you don't accidentally double charge.

Since you were too busy to sight it in before you started hunting, I'd fire off a bunch of rounds sighting it in and THEN clean it real good before putting it away for the season.

You can shoot your muzzleloader on public hunting area after the season closes.
