First Muzzleloader kill
« on: October 16, 2013, 09:20:21 PM »
Ive been meaning to post this on here for a little while now, but am just now finely getting a chance.

Some of you may remember me posting trail cam pictures of a bull 3 years ago, a bull I was calling "Gator" (see trail cam pic)

Well I am VERY happy to report that after 3 long seasons of hunting him I was finely able to close the deal on him this muzzle loader season.
He is my biggest bull to date and my first ever muzzle loader kill.
I have to thank Shane (huntnnw) for loaning me his muzzle loader! :tup: Thanks dude!

Congrats, Matt. That's a stud of a bull.


I think the Shane you're referring to is huntnnw.
