Congrats brother. Nice deer and rifle.

Congratulations! It’s been a long time since I hunted in WV. I never got a buck . But got a doe 3 years in a row during the archery season. That was before I go into muzzle loading. Where I hunted in Hardy County, (George Washington National Forest) you either go up hill or down hill.

Nicely done Jack on the gun and the deer!
My uncle always told me "the deer down in WV had two legs shorter than the other so they could run around the hills easier" - any truth to that?!

Been hearing that all my life, lol. Dan.

I've hunted the forest a few times now. Definitely some steep stuff

70 grains is a plenty. Backstraps and Eggs for breakfast , Rite on.

Definitely plenty. Tried loads from 60-80 grains and 70 seemed to shoot the best

I like 75gr for moderate distance of 75 yards, as that’s my woods hunting max distance. A flintlock is on my radar.
