Pa’s Early Muzzleloader Deer Success

[Kev308]

The rain let up long enough and Tuesday was a good day to get out, with my trusted smoothbore. This girl came in around 6 pm, and she was down. I’ve had great success with this gun on smallgame over the years, but not on deer.
Until yesterday!

Congratulations, That's a fine big doe. I’m also hunting the early PA muzzleloaders season for the first time and have had some action but no success yet.

Very nice deer. She should make nice meat. I just got back from camp. Too much bear sign. Only saw a couple deer. Saw one elk /deformed antlers on one side. Both my 50+ yr. hunting buddy , and myself , have sick wives , so it was good we could get away for three days. Don't have to clean my flint longrifle . We are going back first day of Pa. buck season , I have a scheduled rematch with the largest rack buck , I've seen in 50+ yrs. of hunting. We will see who walks away from this yrs. encounter. ........oldwood

Congrats. I was out in the rain Saturday. It was ugly! Didn’t see a deer all day Tuesday. Will be hitting it against n this Saturday but they’re calling for more rain.

Thanks for the good thought guys, I’ve been waiting a long time for this one.

Congrats.
I had wanted to go out this year for the early season, but I am seeing so few doe on my trail cam that I don't want to remove any for the big buck out back to sniff out.
Plus I'd hate to be out and see that buck with a ML when I could have been archery hunting.

Come December I may regret this decision.

I had this guy at 10 yards on Tuesday, unfortunately I left the crossbow in the car and opted for the muzzleloader for the days hunt.

Congrats. I have a 62 smoothbore that I e been out with several times this year, but no deer seen so far.
