Hunt Story
I have been watching this buck on my trail camera for several weeks and I knew my best chance to kill him would be with a muzzleloader. I work 3rd shift so I left work early to be in the stand before daylight. I saw 4 smaller bucks and 3 does earlier that morning and I could tell the does was getting very nervous, and I heard a buck grunt and 5 seconds later this 12 point stepped out and I made a 65-yard shot with a Traditions .50 cal muzzleloader. Two hours later I was holding my first deer I have ever shot with a muzzleloader and also the biggest deer I have ever killed.
