Wow, sorry fellas I have been out trying to get buck for my little brother. Iowa has a youth season and it started sat but anyways after three days we finally put it together. He was shooting a muzzleloader a CVA and we were hunting a large section of beans that we have been seeingtwo bucks in around 6pm every other night. Sunday was the first night to get out got in the blind around 2pm seen three doe and the Seven pointer came through around 6 but no 10 withhim, so around darkwe take the blind down and start to head out, while doing this 200 yards behind me mybrother spots the 10. Get set up but bythe time we get the stix set and a yardage he is to far (208 yards) so we back out.
Monday night in the blind around 6pm only 2 does and 2 smaller bucks no big guys, back out at dark.Tues forecast to rain all day,Butnothing untill 4pm when I get off work then it starts to sprinkle off and on with storms coming.......Little Brother wants to go out, so we go get out to the field and set the blinda bit closer to where we saw himSunday night.
Just get the blind set up and down poor, wow this is going to suck, I only came out because he wanted to go so anyways we sit there raining hard off and on, I decided to take a nap, 6pm I get a hard elbow in the side and in the middle of this down poor out the window there they are the 7 and the 10 just feeding in the beans, get him set up and range them at 134 yards get the binos on him and tell him whenever he is ready, a quick HEY and his head shoots up out of the beansand kaboom.
Drops him right there the seven runs back the way he came in and the 10 I can't see, Beans are to tall but I know he hit him. Wait 15 mins then go out to look (The whole time its thundering and lighting and raining hard) Get out there, Nothing I can't find anything but spot in the beans where he fell and a trail where he might have go down a ditch into a corn field. Back to the blind to get a coat and make some calls, Our Mom shows up to help find him, Keep in mind it has been thunderstorming this whole time so no blood and no deer yet. We are soaked and decided to walk the corn field awhile take a couple of rows in between us.
I start walking the direction he came from and come across a deer trail but no fresh track or blood but as I was on my knees looking I happened to look ahead and there his nose was sticking out from a mess of corn stalks only 50 yards from the shot,
Never had a day of hunting like that in my life, The rain the thunder, the excitment for my brother and the rollercoaster of emotions of him shooting him ,to not finding him, to finding him all in that storm

Anyways enoughtyping, Here he is my little Brother Austin 11 years old and his biggest buck to date 130+ 10 pointer shot at 134yards with a muzzleloader in a thunderstorm.
