hawkens drops another.
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.

Hope I see something that nice.

Yep called him into me around 20 yards using my tru talker.
Shooting 90 grains of loose pyrodex pushing a 250gr Shockwave with a remington no .11
He ran just around 25 to 30 yards and dropped like a rock. Within 30 seconds of the shot he gave a kick and one last breath and expired.
