Congratulations on taking a fine buck. What kind of rifle were you shooting. Powder charge, projectile, scope? Again, congratulations.. you sure could not let that one pass by.

ORIGINAL: Hoytteen

well i saw a clearing about 120yds out...got him is the @ss tho...i had my muzzeloader sighted in a 60yds but at least i got him...this is my first blackpowder deer and buck....i now got the new black powder record at the cabin after 28 years of hunting!!!!
You were very, very lucky. 120yd shot - which is a long ways for muzzleloader, esp. one sighted at 60. And shot him in the ass? Sounds like a shot to avoid. You were lucky to recover the deer, more than good. I'm glad for you that you recovered your deer, but don't go shooting deer in the ass....
