  I changed my mind at the last minute, I had a doe tag left for muzzleloader. About 420 two yearlings and this doe came out and hung around at around 50 to 60 yards for a good 20 minutes. I kept hoping they would venture a little closer but they turned and went the other way. About 5 minutes later the doe was down the field at 165 yards (give or take but that was what I stepped off. I lined up and shot, she took three steps and dropped. I do not know why deer with minor injuries always come my way. This one had a bum leg so at least she will not have to struggle through a tough winter...

  Nice!

  Although always described as a cowboy, Roswellnative generally acts as a righter of wrongs or bodyguard of some sort, where he excels thanks to his resourcefulness and incredible gun prowesses.

  Thumbs up !!

  
  

  I’m highly skeptical about you hunting while enjoying ‘420’ in the deer woods. 🤣😎

  165 yards. Long shot for a muzzleloader. What rifle did you use?

  CVA Optima, three 777 pellets, 245gr Powerbelt bullet. Nikon scope. I put it together twelve years ago and have had pretty good success with it. It is an accurate setup and I have practiced with it out over 200 yards.

  Your rifle is impressive!! The only time I ever shot a muzzleloader I couldn't have hit a deer at 50 yards.😁
