Well I'm back from my trip with some good news and some not so good news. The good news is that I got 3 deer (2 bucks and 1 doe). The not so good news is I didn't see any deer while I was carrying the muzzleloader.

The details are listed up in the deer forum so I won't go through them here. Suffice it to say the hunting situation lent itself to more long range CF than medium range ML. The shortest shot I had was 160 yards which I could have made with my inline with no problem but I had my 30-30 at the time. My oldest son missed the first deer he has ever shot at and my youngest son did not get a chance to shoot at anything.

We had fun and have a little meat for the freezer which is the main reason for the hunting trip. Next time I will be consentrating more on the kids getting something and me getting something with the ML'er's.
