Matt is living proof that it's better to be lucky than smart.

 

Try to stay warm.

Good luck Jon

 

And yall are hating cause your jealous

[Old School 611]

Good luck Jon

 

And yall are hating cause your jealous

 

I am jealous. That doe was bigger than any I shot this year. And I'm the GREAT Hunter!!!

 

Get a bow lad, we could have a super time. After the initial cost, it's fun hunting. The bow is stealth city...

 

Some days you'll want to jump out of the tree with a knife in your teeth.

 

Congrats again!!!

[Jon 264]

Ditto. I'm very jealous. That was your third day ever deer hunting? **** it took me 6yrs for my first one.

[matt6669 71]

Frank, I have an older style bow that I used to complete my hunters ed course. I tried to hunt twice with it last season but didn't see anything.

 

I'm tempted to do some fall bow next year tho. I won't do bow at this time of the year, too freaking cold.

 

That does was huge, my dad cut it all up, just the front legs produced 9 pounds of meat LOL

You practice out to 30yds and I'll get you a shot next fall. Of course you'll have to take a proficiency test in my yard before we go out. I hate chasing them...

[matt6669 71]

yeah chasing them is no fun but can be fun as well

 

I like the rifle idea, mine didn't even take a step, made recovery quite easy

What does everyone here shoot

 

I won't be out permit week but will use my T/C during the regular 6-day firearm season. I've been shooting my Renegade .54 since I bought it new back in '81, and still load the same load that proved most accurate in this gun: 110 grs. of Pyrodex & 430 gr. Maxi-Ball. It's the only muzzleloader I own.

 

The only modification I've made to mine since I purchased it was add sling swivel studs, a T/C peep sight and a T/C bead front sight. I drilled the center out of the solid metal bead and added a spot of white automotive paint. Also added a fiberglass rod to prevent any problems should the hardwood rod ever break in the field. Mine has proven to be very accurate and reliable over the years.

After-lunch update: saw two pheasants, nothin else. It has warmed up quite nicely though
