First traditional muzzleloader deer

[Cherrybow]

I was successful this weekend with my first build, that I did the build a long on, taking a nice size doe. I had a problem earlier in the season with the cap not going off. I went to a hot shot nipple and put a new mainspring in the used lock which worked perfectly. Feeling blessed

Well done sir! Congrats.
Walk

Rifle looks too purdy to take outside. But it did a heck of a job. Congrats.

 

[Hammond79]

Congratulations! Nice doe, and good meat I'm sure!

 

[Hammond79]

What's the caliber and load used?

 

[StevePD]

Congrats to you.

That's one thing I'll probably never get to do. Build a rifle and then take a deer.
Good on you sir

 

[Bob McBride]

Oh man, that is so nice. Jalapeño Jerky time!

 

[MountainSmoke]

[Roundball2319]

Nice for. We all know that game taken with a muzzleloader just tastes better!

Well done! It feels great to take one with traditional equipment. You’re hooked now

 

[Mulebrain]

That's great!

What more do you need? Nothing...... That gun gets it done

Folks been feeding their families for century's, off traditional guns.

What's the caliber and load used?

54 cal, 80 grains GEOX FFg, .530 ball .010 cotton patch lubed with olive oil

Good on you sir

Britsmoothy that just makes me sad that you can’t hunt there. I hope and pray that never happens here. Who knows, maybe the day will come for you
