Default RE: DE Shotgun Sound Off

I shot a NICE mature buck the 23rd. I hunted Friday night and saw nothin but rain for the first few hours then about at dusk i saw 15 deer come running full bore across the field about 250yds out. So saturday morning i decided to go down about 200 yds from the night before and since there was no stand there i was forced to sit on a 5 gallon bucket. but at about 6:30 a doe came running across the field a good 120yds from me so i got ready and no more than 30 seconds after that, This big 8 pointer came running so i got my gun up and he stopped and ran straight to me, when he got to about 60yds i took off the safety on the Knight T-Bolt Muzzleloader i was shooting and pulled the trigger. He took off full bore across the field and didnt even flinch so i was ticked off, so i reloaded, and walked down the row of trees until i saw him laying about 200yds away so i watched him and started grunting to see if i would get some movement out of him , he didnt move so i thought that i had got him. so a creeped across the field and when i got about 70yds from him he arched up and crossed the ditch! but i guess that is took a lot out of him cause he just stood broadside on the other side of the ditch so i put one through his lungs! when i got to the ditch bank there was blood EVERYWHERE so i got my hat off and marked the tree and waited for my friends to come help me, long story short i crossed the ditch and found him laying about 100yds in the woods, a nice 8 pointer 18.5 inch spread, weighed 205 live!
