Default MN Bruiser down!

MN treated my uncle and I well this yr again. He grunting a 10 pt in on opening day and got a 10 yd shot with his muzzleloader. It took me 20 hrs in a stand to finally connect. We had seen a big body deer coming into a field just at dark but could never see horns. It was down to the last night. We placed a stand on the edge of a creek bottom and a field. About a half an half before light I heard brush breaking and a deer running around. About 5 minutes later I heard grunt followed by grunt for 10 minutes. I waited til the deer got closer and used a tending grunt and he started to trot towards me. I still couldn't see him. He started to circle down wind and I grunted again. He couldn't take it and stepped put about 100 yds away. I let him come within 75 yds and dropped him in his tracks with my muzzleloader. This had to have been the best hunt I have ever had. Everything worked out perfect. It rarely happens with me. Did I mention that I missed two doe's 2 days pior!!!!!! Mine is the big 8 pt. He had a 20 inside. Roughed him out at 141 inches.
