My best muzzy buck
« on: October 20, 2017, 05:26:25 PM »
I got on this buck opening weekend and after a 500 yard stak, I got into position.  Waiting for it to feed past me, gave me a few moments to catch my nerves and breath.  Then at 80 yards he stopped broadside and I shot.  However I immediately knew it was over because my cap went off but it didn’t ignite the powder.  As I watched the Buck trot off over the hillside my heart sank.  I was filled with all kinds of feelings that I was trying to process.  However the story ends well because the second weekend he was back his feeding spot.  After spotting the buck bedded down in the CRP grass I made a stock within 80 yards which included an extensive belly crawl to get redemption with a one shot clean kill.

I am not opposed to golf, for I suspect it keeps armies of the unworthy from discovering deer.

Nice work! Way to push past the disappointment; I hardly know any muzzy hunters that haven't had a misfire, hangfire, or other ignition mishap...
