wanna talk about some dumb deer...
and a crummy marksman. I went out muzzleloader hunting on saturday after missing a doe on friday with the bow. long story short, I had a 4ptr come in, and I passed. three does come in about 15 mins later and I put the crosshairs on the biggest one at 40 yds and shoot. they run behind me at 20 yds (now the four ptr comes back and starts dogging them) and I get yet another shot at 30 yds. I missed 2x! the gun was on when I shot it at the range. cva optima with 100 grains pyrodex and a 295 grain powerbelt hollowpoint. I know the gun has a heavy trigger, but this was ridiculous. I do have a simmons 4x32 on it, an inexpensive scope. I wonder if I flinched or the scope got knocked off. gave it up for the bow. I'd rather not see deer in range with the bow then miss with the smokepole.
