Well boys here he is sorry i waited so long to put up the pics but i have been busy hunting. He was shot opening day here in MI. I was just going in for lunch around 10:45 am I climbed out of my stand and started heading back to the truck. when i got about 10 ft from my truck i seen something out of the corner of my eye about 50 yrds away. i looked to see what it was and there he stood with another doe. i took aim and bang hit him he went about 10 yards and was down i hit him right where it counts. I shot him with my new CVA Wolf with 100 grains of 777 and powerbelt aero tip 245 grain bullets. Who said you need a $700.00 pro hunter.

congratulations of a fine buck... With a muzzleloader it just seems that much more special. Sounds like the bullet combination worked real good for you. Did you get complete pass through with that powerbelt? I have been asking this and taking a lot of notes from others experience since deer refuse to come to my testing site again this year...

excellent shot.. exactly where I like to put them when possible. I would bet there was little left of the heart and lungs.. Also probably a massive wound channel. Again, congratulations and thanks for the info. I shoot the same projectile but with 90 grains of Goex 2f out of my CVA Staghorn with excellent accuracy.

Hey, way to go, dbc5150! Being a Michigander myself, I can tell you that's a great buck from this state. Not that they don't come bigger, but most die at a young age (that's ok in my book, 'cause they're more tender!).
Being in the right place at the right time is a whole lot more important than the brand name on your gun.
Congratulations!

Thanks, Dad, for taking time with me.
great deer! Good reports on those powerbelts also, everytime i post about them i get the usual, in 1 ear and out the other. But i knew those 245's would get the job done! Awesome deer, looks like a 5x5?
