Default Thats it, the cap smacker is coming out!!!!

Been trying to do alot of bowhunting lately and was saving my mz tags for the end of next month. The problem i have been having is the deer have seemed to disappeared from the draws i have been bowhunting. I have been getting pictures of good bucks but only late at night, so i believe tomarrow i am going to take the gpr out of the cabinet and still hunt the 2- mile long draw and see which draws they are using to get to their feeding areas and see what happens.

Still hunting with a GPR. How can you not have fun? A kill is a bonus.

Are you sure you are legal right now, hunting with your muzzle loader?

yep, standing rock tribal tag, resident nonmember, started october 22. Thank you for checking though ron. I wish i did draw a state muzzleloader tag but was denied, it was my first year putting in for it though.

Well, i went out yesterday evening and got a 78yrd shot at a doe, tipped her right over. I walked up to her and she was still alive. I hit here right at the top of the shoulder and must have grazed her spine. She started to crawl a little bit while i was reloading to finish her off and all of a sudden she was able to barely get to her feet and make it about 80 yrds into a plum thicket. I finished reloading and went down there to retrieve her and she was nowwhere to be found. It got dark on me pretty fast and i stumbled around that creek bottom for about an hour looking for her but didnt have any luck. I have been just sick about the whole deal and havent even been able to sleep. I took the morning off work and am going to go look for her again at sunrise in a few hours. I dont think she could have went far the way she was stumbling and falling around. I think my the problem is the creek bottom she is in is to brushy to be looking for her under a flash light.
