ready for muzzleloader season

[huntr-]

 I shoot a T/C 50 cal omega and I get 2" groups with the 145grn at 100 yds. They shoot tighter groups if you swap clean/dry patches every two shots.

I got everything laid out for tomorrow... I should be hitting the hay soon to try to sleep.  I doubt I'll be able to sleep much, I'm just too excited.

Pretty quite day , only saw turkeys  . Saw some good buck sign , be back at it at 5:30 am  Learned something though, never point your trail camera towards the rising sun , unless you want 91 pictures of the sunrise.

Ya , it was the highlight of the day.

Today was slow.  Found sign, and found other hunters.  I'll be in bed soon to do it again in a different piece of woods.

got off one shot in the am but missed no hunting today or tomorrow cause I slamed my head into the ground and got a concusion after a halloween party

I finally got some good trail cam photos. A bear and cubs and a nice eight point (x2)  and a doe ! Still no deer but a bunch of buck signin a different area than yesterday. One trail camera site had a mock scrape and had a large bobcat track in it, but I didn't get any pics.

It's a good thing I like being in the woods, it's been tough.  I'm looking forward to getting out again Thursday and Friday and Saturday and Sunday and...

I was out at my spot by 6:00 am on Sat. and had a pack of Coyotes with 10'-0" from me.  I tell you what, Sitting on a log with these guys within striking distance and a muzzle loader didn't make me fell all warm and fuzzy.  Finally the leader spotted me and the pack took off.  That was all the excitement I had for the weekend.  Back to the grind next Sat.2

Many of you have seen the pics on MFF.  I thought  I'd post over here. I went out Saturday morning before daylight and sat till 8:30. I heard a couple shots at around 8:30 and another at about 8:40. At about 9 I saw some movement in the thick laurel. I could eventually make out a deer walking. I had no time to rest so I had to shoot off hand. It was about an 80 yard shot.  I shoot a scoped Savage 10MLII. I have several other muzzleloaders in side hammers and 1 T/C system 1. All are very much fun to hunt with, but the Savage shoots smokeless. When you get to be my age, laziness tends to set in and although I love my blackpowder guns, I don't care much for the chore of cleaning.

congratulations I bet it will be a good eating deer.
