Default ANOTHER great day of hunting

I got in my stand before daylight this morning for the final day of muzzleloader season. About 7:45 am a doe ran across a real wide shooting lane and the buck wasn't far behind her but I couldn't get him to stop. Within minutes, she was back in the path and her companion made the mistake of turning broadside at 136 yards. The Nosler punched through both shoulders and kept right on trucking. I'd really like to see what one of these bullets look like expanded but I guess I'm going to have to shoot a deer that's standing in front of a railroad car to retrieve one. After dressing him and putting him in our walk in cooler, I rode to 2 of our other stands and saw Tyler's 6 pointer. Could have nailed him too but I'm saving him for Tyler. ( we can harvest 2 deer per day in NC ). It's been a great muzzleloader season and I've learnded so much from a lot of different folks especially Sabotloader. Thanks Mike.
