Went out with my uncle yesterday in New Jersey for the muzzleoader opener and scored on two deer, my first with the smokepole. I was very impressed by the gun, liked it a lot and will definately be picking one up for next year.

The first was a doe at about 15 yards or even less which came in at about 3:30pm. She dropped in place. The second is a 2 1/2 year old pitiful spike, but it had a big body and I actually thought it was a doe. I took him at about 40 yards. He piled up after about 100 yards. An old man was congratulating me on that one for getting it out of the gene pool!

Nice job. Did they age the buck at the check in??

No, they didn't, just weight.

where in nj did you hunt?private or public land?seeing lots of deer?just curious because im thinking of trying it out next year.thanks

I answered on NEO... but NJ is great!

Maybe it's just me but that buck looks younger than 2.5 yrs. Good shootin out there.

I am not really good with again, but a few guys were looking at it and all agreed on 2 1/2. We were the last to come in, so everyone kind of gathered around when we got there.

wow good thing you shot that deer, he was either going to be a monster and is 1 year old with antlers, instead of buttons,or a 2.5 with horrible horrible genes.

Nothing like two deer in 1 day! Congrats!

Very Good Job! Congrat's
