Deer hunting BS thread

11 pt for a multi millionaire.....??

 

Dude, I don't take anything I read on the internet personal. Just adding another point of view.

 

actually those were killed by members of our lease.its a group of 12 people. i havnt been able to go. but all are being killed in the green fields instead of on the mountain like November Rut.the does are grouped back up. bucks are hanging around the doe groups.

 

That’s good to hear

 

WOOOOOOWWWW, what a monster. For a NC buck that's a dam nice for sure. Congrats to your buddy, freaking awesome.

 

Here Here!! Be nice fellas!

 

So, I’m out in the shop welding and kept looking out the windows for deer in the yard. There are two behind the deck, check.

I grab Cole’s muzzle loader cause I know it’s loaded, check to make sure the primer is in, check.

I sneak around the front of the house and raise the gun to peak around the corner and they don’t have a clue. Yay.

I put one in the scope, was it the biggest, I don’t know, don’t care at this point, I squeeze the trigger and boom!

Primer goes off, that’s all.

 

Was primer pocket hole clogged?

 

Oh No!!

 

I wont owna smoke pole

 

I pulled the breech plug out and checked it, it wasn’t clogged at all. I think it was just a bad primer. It wasn’t as loud as usual.

 

So this young dude (30ish ) stopped me at work this morning and says next year he's going to all traditional archery equipment. So I says I guess yer giving up that aluminum climbing stand? He says no, still gonna use that. So I says, so yer gonna be making yer own broadheads? That should be interesting. He says, no I'm gonna buy broadheads. So I says, what kind of wood are you using for yer bow? Osage? Willow? And he says, I'm gonna be buying that too. So I says, so basically you'll be hunting just like normal but with shittier equipment.

 

Speaking of Osage, I need to get back to carving my bow

 

I may regret saying it one of these days but I’ve never had a misfire or hang fire with my old hawken in the woods. Just takes a little attention before and after use. Have had caps go bad, usually buy a new tin every other year. And there is nothing like the excitement of firing off a round at a deer and waving all that dam smoke away to try to see if it's down or headed to parts unknown.

And forgive me for posting it but I got my first with a muzzleloader. Was my brothers CVA kit gun and long gone. Hawken pictured above I got used at 16 and refinished a few years back. It's seen some use.
