RE: Mass Muzzleloader
ORIGINAL: Western MA Hunter Anybody been out yet and if so, any luck? I got out for the last hour yesterday, w/ no luck. Spoke w/ the land owner and he said he has been seeing 2 nice doe and a spike quite a bit. I am hoping to get a shot at one of them. It is the same spike I missed w/ the bow... i am still bitter. He had better not come by w/ the TC in my hand! Heading out tomorrow for the day... we'll see. |

RE: Mass Muzzleloader
Supposedly, someone shot a real freak in Cummington. Rumor has it it was a 20 something pointer. It was checked at Dave's Sporting Goods in Pittsfield. I will see what I can find out and see how true it is.

Man What A Season I'm Having!!!!!!
I went out yesturday and was in my stand Same stand I shot 2 deer this muzzleloader season. Well about 9:00am I saw a cat trying to sneak up on some small birds. I put the scope on the cat and thought to my self I ought to (I hade cats and love birds) but of course I didn't. I was lowering the gun when I caught movement to my left. About 30 yards out was a huge doe walking I put the scope just behind her sholder and touched off. there was enough of a breeze blowing that it took the smoke away right away. As she ran away I saw blood qushing out from where I aimed. I was reloading as quick as I could but not soon enough as a smaller doe bounded as I was pushing the bullet down the barrel.After about 5 min I got out of the stand and followed a blood trail Little Steve Wonder could have followed for about 40 yards and there she was dead. I said to myself this has got to be a world record record doe or at least a state record. As I got ready to to dress the deer I said wait this ain't no doe and I checked the head and sure enough to huge soars where 2 antlers were. I was told the big one I got in there last week was not the big boy of the area, but every time you shoot a big deer you hear that so I sluffed it off. But I got to tell you that deer weighed almost 230 lbs and the sores were 3 inches around. So on sunday I'm going to start a new huntings season and try to find those sheds. The area I have been hunting is only 40 ac. so if he lost them in there I'll find them if I have to step on every square in of land there. Cause if he's bigger then the one I got last week imagin the size of the antlers I'm looking for. |

RE: Mass Muzzleloader
Listen can you hear that, Oh there it is again. I know what it is. Its the fat lady she is singing away.
I hope every one hadd a great hunting season and I hope everyone had an even better one next year. If I find those sheds I will post a photo. I'm having it caped out anyway if I down't find the sheds I hav a real pretty 8 that I shot in Bridgewater 3 years ago and should have had mounted I didn't because I already had a huge 8 pointer being done and I coulden't afford both. But I would still like to fine the sheds and mount them where they belong. |
RE: Mass Muzzleloader
