Dad's Morning Buck

Well this morning dad && I went to a new spot that he found last season. I didn't even bring my gun with me, just my tree stand and the video camera. After a half mile walk into the woods, we pick a tree we both can climb; I climb first then dad under me. Right after it got light, I had to put on a sweater because it was cold this morning. It was dead all morning and only heard a few shots. Well about 0930hrs, dad says at 1000hrs were gunna call it a morning if we don't get one. About 15minutes later, the squirrels start raising hell out in front of me. Then I hear dad say thats either a really small deer or a bobcat; and sure enough a big ole, fat bobcat comes trotting across the open bottom into the pine flat. We watch were the bobcat went into and hoped we would see a deer or hog run out of where the bobcat went into. It wasn't 5 minutes later I hear dad say " That's a shooter!" Then I see him pick up his black powder and look into the scope. I look out into the pine flat and I see diddly squat! Then dad goes "That's a good looking buck!" I look at him and he points out where the deer is. I pull the camera out and get it going. Not a few seconds after I turn the camera on, BOOM!! Smoke goes everywhere, We see the deer jump, flip, and fall. I am telling him congrats and hitting fists. We climb outta the tree and find the deer and see it's a basket rack 7 point. Should have been an 8 point, but one of his points broke off from fighting.

I have a video of the kill shot, but dad has a bad army mouth wouldn't be apporiate for on here.

Googoos,
Are you hunting in Georgia? Just wondered about the Black Powder Guns. I know the Georgia season does not open for another week. Is there some kind of early season in your area?

Is it open in all of South Georgia or just in your area. I thought it opened on October 13, Statewide. I might have missed out on a good blackpowder hunt.
