This year my wife said she wanted to start deer hunting, which I was excited for her wanting to start deer hunting. She begun her first deer season with muzzleloader season, she had passed several opportunities to kill some does. But she was willing and wanting to hold out for a buck. Well, this morning was her morning! At 7:14 am we had a great buck coming in, not chasing or anything. She knew it was time! Got him to stop at 33 yards and she took her shot! She sent the 295 grain power belt to the shoulder, not where she wanting to put it but the adrenaline was high! He went about 20 yards and fell over. He was not dead yet, sent another 295 grain to the neck and finished it. She was beyond excited and happy to hold out on the does to have this buck as her first deer! It is safe to say, she definitely has the bug now and we will get to have many more memories to make together!

Outstanding first buck! Congrats

Went meat hunting this morning, freezer is empty.
Set up in a ladder stand on the edge of hardwoods and clear cut. Fog start to left around 0730. I caught movement to my left in the woods, 3 does were easing through the woods. I picked out the biggest and dropped her in her tracks. Happy with that I sit back in the seat and started reload the ML. I had just started pushing the sabot down when another deer walked up and it had horns. It was trying to figure why the doe was laying down and I was trying to reload quick but quietly since he was about 30 yards
beside me. Finally got reload and found him in the scope, he had started quartering away from me. Hit him just behind the right front leg and existed through his chest, fell where he stood.

Most successful opening week of muzzleloader and I am just now finishing the work. So glad its over. A friend and I both tagged out and my nephew got one. I was trying to put him on a nice one but thankfully it did not show up until after he left. I don't think I could have processed another deer. The bottom pic is the deer I was trying to put him on. It did not show up in daylight until after he left.
