I decided this season I would get a 2 point or better with my .45 kentucky rifle and patched round balls I cast myself. I lost a couple of days working on the Oregon coast and my preferred GMU's will not be open for late season so after passing up a bunch of spikes and another small forkie I punched my tag on this small forkie. I used a spike elk antler to make a 65 grain powder measure and a ball starter and took a piece of Oregon oak from a tree we had fall down and whittled a beaver shaped loading block that holds 3 extra patched round balls. While the buck isn't as big as I was going for I am pretty tickled to get my first muzzleloader buck and getting to use the tools I made. |

A few days prior my younger brother got his first muzzleloader buck at 80 yards after about a 200 yard stalk through a clearcut using a RMZ and wind to get close |
