Took this guy yesterday morning. Not a monster but he is my first kill muzzle loader kill. I planned to just keep using my bow during the Muzzle season but my buddy convinced me to to take my 209 Encore out this season. 100gr of Pyrodex behind a 250 Powerbelt. He went about 60 yards but his trail was pretty easy to follow. Recovered the Powerbelt in his front shoulder. He was hammering a scrape I was watching for the last three days. Had a small 6 work his scrape about a hour before he came into view. Needless to say, this guy was a little pissed. It was awesome to watch him work that thing.

Sorry, no pictures, but I did take a mature doe saturday evening. 83 yards with the savage 10-ML muzzleloader, 45 grains of AA5744 behind a 250-grain hornady XTP bullet. Bullet entered the front of the right shoulder, through the lungs, out the ribcage, found resting under the opposite skin. Expansion was a bit excessive, penetration a bit less than I like, so I'll probably go back to the hornady sst bullets again.
Had some loin last night and backstrap this morning - fried, of course. edit: she dropped instantly. I had my other muzzleloader with me, and there were 8 other does/fawns on the other end of the field that stood around for a few seconds, but I didn't want to process two deer that night (too warm) so I passed them for later. |

Because of the steep angle of the shot the entrance was perfectly placed (right behind the shoulder) but the exit was a little low (came out between the front leg and the chest). When we field dressed the deer, my assumption was right, it nicked the bottom of only one lung. If it was a double lung shot, the deer would have died quicker and sooner. |

I passed this deer last year as a 3 1/2 year old, and I am happy with what he became. We roughly gross scored him last night at 150 inches. http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c4/buckfever34/big81.jpg http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c4/buckfever34/big82.jpg http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c4/buckfever34/big83.jpg Nice job BF.. |
