Early muzzle loader weekend thread

I met a little yearling buck living in a cave undercut bank on the creek that flowed through my property in Iowa and he was wearing a bandana around his neck that was dirty causing sores. The more that I thought about it I went back down and the little buck let me cut it off.

This is a old one.. ...
It was opening day guy gos in hunting on his his horse wanting to get far away from others. about 45 minutes of ridding trails he stops to look at some tracks in the mud and boom his horse fell over dead he was kneeling over it and this woman comes out with a gun saying get back get back that's my deer and pointing at him he stood up slowly and said "okay ma'am just let me get my saddle "

 

Saw several does, a thousand squirrels, and one buck making a rub. He had a huge body but never got to see his antlers before he spooked. I’ll say he was at least 190”! Beautiful morning. Thank you Lord.

 

In Bullitt County. Seen 8 bucks and 5 doe this morning. Had 6 bucks all together walk under me in a single file line. 1 spike. 2-4pt. 3-6pts.

 

Back in for evening

 

Decided to try the beans for afternoon sit

 

32 this morning. 68 and skeeters this afternoon

 

Back in for afternoon hunt. Got my daughter hunting with me. First time for her this year. Kinda bummed out this afternoon. Buck I’m after a buddy sent me pics of him at 5am this morning over a mile away. He’d been gone since velvet shed but was on my cam 2 days ago. That buck likes covering some ground just like last year.

 

In a blind on a ridge I’ve never deer hunted. Change of scenery. Deep woods though, would be some work getting one out!

 

Someones pet, the bad side on trying to mark a deer to keep it from being shot.

 

Out in Henry/Franklin counties. A couple small bucks this morning and nothing yet tonight.

South winds are the worst for this farm. Anything else I can make work good but south sucks!

 

Back at it myself beautiful evening here in the mountains hunting a deer I call ghost pray he shows this evening been after him three years but man gods paint brush sure is breath taking here good luck guys.

 

PSA: When you shoot a deer and cross 3 ridges back to your 4 wheeler, make sure you don't leave the keys in your treestand.
