A LOOOOOOONG Drought Ends!
Finally!
After a dreadful bow season and shotgun season, we got some deer.
It all started as a bad joke, then turned to bad luck or maybe bad choices.
Each time I chose a treestand , the hollow hairs would enter the field from under another stand.
Then the standing joke ; they would all hangout next to my Jeep and some even relieved themselves on my new Michelins!
After having almost every fawn in two counties all around me; I decided it was not in dacards!
But in muzzel loading season with only one shot, I have finally claimed us some meat for the winter.
Saturday night a mature doe came within my wheelhouse (200 yards or so) and with lots of luck it fell victim of My Remington 700!
Elated ; the long year drought was over.
Then again Sunday night in the very same stand 25 deer came accross the corn stubble , eight good sized bucks in the group.
Only they stayed far enough away for an hour to make me crazy.
Half an hour before legal shooting time ended , as if on a rail one presented me the same 200 yard pose!
Man can't wait until next weekend !
Oneshot......

Even my son Derek got a doe!

Congrats, just wondering what bullet you were using out of your Rem. muzzleloader. How was the bullet performace on them nice looking deer, especially at 200 yards.
