Congratulations on taking a fine buck. What kind of rifle were you shooting. Powder charge, projectile, scope? Again, congratulations.. you sure could not let that one pass by.

You were very, very lucky. 120yd shot - which is a long ways for muzzleloader, esp. one sighted at 60. And shot him in the ass? Sounds like a shot to avoid. You were lucky to recover the deer, more than good. I'm glad for you that you recovered your deer, but don't go shooting deer in the ass....
