Congrats!! Nice job, takes ALOT of patience to kill with a bow, bet you were glad to take that first breath after the shot!!! ha ha ha ha....

I too have been out scarin deer with my muzzleloader. Shot and missed at a doe day one of Wake County open for muzzle, then went back to the same area 2 weeks later with my boy (his first season out with dadda for watch and learn and what happens when you "miss") ::).. his first outing on public gameland and we had a doe come in on us, shot and missed... And this weekend we saw a buck, but never had a chance as he was too far out and we were 20 yards too far in the woods to get a good clean shot to scare him too, then I took the boy to his friends house and went back out to the same area and had a doe walk out on a power line at 50 yards away, shot and missed....

I'm 'bout ready to burn my muzzle gun.. but I know it's not the gun... I hit a paint can at 50 yards pre-season at least 12 times in a 2 inch group... so it's somethin I'm doin.

Anywhoo.. did manage to down a 7 point buck so far this year, so we did manage to put some meat in the box.

Huntin' sure get's that heart rate goin especially when they're close in. Congrat's man on a good kill, save some of that meat for jerky!! :D

Here's a couple shots of us out this season:
Also thru in a pic of my boy's birthday present (i.e. squirrel gun) this year.. he was pretty stoked about it!
