First muzzleloader kill

[elkslayer]

Congrats on the kill and the description of your hunting clothes, maybe i'll try that.

I'd be interested in seeing the round ball that you recovered. as well as the distance and shot placement info.

The shot was perhaps 50-60 yds. Broke both shoulders, anchored her right there. No vitals were hit so I shot her through both lungs at PBR. I was sitting in elevated shooting house on a food plot. She was not interested in the plot but rather came out of some planted pines,skirted the food plot and was heading back into the woods. Probably had a pile of acorns she was heading to. A friend of mine killed a 185# 8-pointer shortly after and found the ball on the floor in the skinning shed. Smashed flat and had the imprint of the pillow ticking patch etched into it. I left it on the counter in my camper,but will retrieve it this weekend. Ironically, I killed a 140# Doe last year less than 10 Ft. from where I shot this one.
