This years deer season is off to a good start

Last February my Uncle gave me a couple of his muzzle loaders as he has Parkinson's and was wanting to see his guns put to a good use. We have an early doe season over the weekend here in Missouri so I was able to hit the wood on Saturday and around 8:00 in the morning this doe came by me at 15 yds. and 65 grs. of Goex ffg amd a PRB got the job done. See went down just out of my sight but the blood trail was pretty good and found here with in 50 yds.. I was able to send my Uncle a pic and it made his day, the last time this gun killed a deer was back in 1991. The rifle is a CVA Mountain 50 cal..

Very nice! Congratulations!

Very nice! That is a nice doe. Plenty of meat on her for a number of meals.

I am not hunting this year. Rules call for bucks only this year. I just don't like buck meat. Give me a fat doe or a fawn.

Congratulations, just refinished a CVA Mountain Stalker my Dad gave me this spring! He turns 90 on opening day of Marylands early ML season and going to hand it back to him and take him out with his “New Gun”!

@Reds I wish your Dad good luck and I really like to see the older hunters being able to get out and enjoy the hunt I hope I have someone to take me when and if I get to that age. Your Dad is lucky to have a son like you.
