Well I have been at it all week trying to get on a legal buck.  I finally had a good wind to hunt a particular area.  I packed up the fanny pack, knight bighorn and the tripod sticks.  I walked in next to an area I have hunted before.  I have been scouting this area all week and saw 0 deer.  Knowing the area and where the deer liked to bed in years past, I approached with the wind in my face.  I worked my way through the cover creepy peaking around, I come over a rocky area and right below me I spot this buck preening himself.  I see he is legal and drop back out of site.  I drop my shooting sticks and prepare for shot, safetys off, come up to a knee and putit right behind shoulder.  At the shot the smoke filled the air and couldn't see where exactly I hit.  His right front leg was broke as he ran a short ways.  I reloaded and finally was able to get another one in him. I went back and got my meat cart and got him out. I am excited this was my first muzzleloader buck and hopefully not my last.  I have a few buds still in camp and we will be hunting all weekend.  I will try and post a few more pics.

 :dunno:  Little nuts (peanut M&M size)..I talked to a bio and he said might be EHD (Epizootic Hemmoraghic disease) (Blue-tongue related)..rare in Mule Deer but causes bucks to keep velvet.  The velvet seems dried up on the horns not spongy.
