First doe with Hawken

[WVAED]

Hey guys, i don't have any pics yet, but i killed my first deer with my T/C Hawken 50 cal. with a patched round ball with 80 grains of 2f. she was about 60 yards away. The ball passed completly through the lungs, missed the heart. She ran about 50 yards and died in the middle of a creek. Got my feet all wet dragging her out. I have killed several deer with an inline and more than i can count with my 30 06, but there was something about this kill that felt very fulfilling. I'm hooked.

Hunting with a traditional muzzleloader is so much more fulfilling and success all the more sweeter. Ain't nothin' like it! :thumbsup:

Congrats on your first traditional muzzleloader kill. There definitely is something very special about this sport and I'll venture to say those other sporting arms will gather a lot of dust from now on!
