Yesterday was opening day of blackpowder in VA. I didn't go in the morning as I been on vacation and bowhunting right steady. I decided to go at 2pm and dropped this guy at 530pm.

I was on the ground and called him into 20 yards and the rest is history. Actually there is a longer story and how things came to happen.

Typical looking 8 at first but has a small 1 inch kicker on his right side making him a 9 and my biggest deer to date.

My hawkens is starting to be a lucky charm. I built it several yrs ago over 40 hours into it and seems the first day in the woods each yr the hammer drops on a buck.
