Reddeer season for bull is from 1st of september to end of january, and for the other reddeers from 1st of september to end of february.

Way to go!

Baikal,

Congrats!
Your gun isn't looks like a traditional gun, but the load is OK.
Don't you use your .45 Kentucky anymore, or you will use that only for smaller games, and the .54 for bigger ones?

Kirr: I still think you need to introduce some White Tail deer blood lines there to improve the size of your deer. They are so small. I can't see a need to use anything larger than a .45 on them. If you saw a 300 lb. Whitetail Deer like those we have here in the Cornbelt in the Midwest of the USA, you would be shocked.

I am glad you had a successful season this year, and did it with muzzleloaders. A scope on a .54 seems to be a bit much, but its still a MLer. Good shooting.

Hi Springer,
mo problem with the .45 also at bigger game, it´s very acurate, if the light is good (I have to use a dioptersight)
Because we hunt pigs at night the scope ist a must.
Pigs are sometimes a little hard and a .54 ist not too much gun.
My first game with that gun was a Fox early in the morning. Shot straight from behind, the REAL stuck under the hide at the neck!

paulvallandigham,

About European deers.
We have mainly three different deer species here in Europe.
Roedeer (Capreolus Capreolus): This is the smallest deer we have. Live weight ~ 40-60 lbs
Fallow deer (Dama Dama): Our mid-size deer. Live weight ~ 60-180 lbs.
And reddeer (Cervus Elaphus): Live weight. ~ 200-700 lbs.
Here in Hungary (Central-East Europe) the roedeer is the most common deer.
Next is the reddeer. We have a lot of.
The fallow deer isn't native here in Hungary. This specie was established since a few hundred years, it is not as common as roedeer or reddeer.

About scopes.
As Baikal said, we hunt wildhog (Sus Scrofa) at night. This animal is very rugged and smart. If you want to shoot one, you have to scope your gun, because the wildhog moving only after sunset.
The hunting regulations here allow to hunt wildhog and redfox at night.
Full moon, and snow are our best friends.

Paul, thanks for the reply and the wishes. It was my first hunting season with ML, so I have to made this or that test. To be on the secure side I used a scope, but next season during spring and summer when hunting at roes I'l think no more scope needed. Because of the reddeer it belongs how much disturbed they are in their habitat if they move at daylight.

Way to go guys! Those sure look like good eating. :wink:

Baikel, I bet that 54 looks good at night when you fire it :thumbsup:

Congratulations to a good season. For the most part, we are limited to deer hunting during set times such as one half hour before sunrise to one half hour after sunset. I know in Massachusetts we can hunt varmints at night sans light. So some hunters will go out when the moon is bright and there is snow on the ground. One bad thing is that in my home state we are limited to nothing larger than a 22 lr in rifle or 38 caliber in a handgun.
