Congrats Mauser, I shot my first deer ever many years ago with my slug gun. It happened to be a button buck. I was so proud of that deer. There has been many since. This year was my first with a muzzleloader......a button buck. Two weeks later I scored my second muzzleloader deer, a nice 145+lb doe. I agree there is nothing like watching the smoke clear and the deer laying right where you shot it. I'm 48 now and now realize what I'll been missing never hunting with a muzzleloader until now. I will take a button buck, thats good eatin!
