Who else is heading out tomorrow? I have the blackpowder gun cleaned and loaded(minus the primer), and know damn well I won't sleep tonight!

 

I'll be out in Zone 15.

Where is your rifle? In the nice warm house with you collecting condensation or out in the cold where it should be?

 

Mine is outside...

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

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!!!

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

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...

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
