13 Days befor opener deer Ya ready

[turkey slayer]

I'm all sighted in at 50, 100, 150 and 200. Been scouting for the last 2 mouths and I have him picked out.
How is every one else doing?

I've been scouting all summer, but these blacktail bucks are getting harder to find. Lately, we're not having much luck getting anything on the trail cameras except does, and bears. Gonna hit it hard though, got 9 days to hunt.

With my muzzleloader, I'm only confident to 100 yards. If everything is perfect, I would take a shot out to 125 yards. You must have better eyes than me.

My rifle is sighted in at 120 yards, 4” high @ 75y and 4” low @ 150y.  At 200y it’s anywhere from 16” to 24” low. 

But 150y, is plenty long enough and I won’t shoot beyond that.  Where I’ll be hunting is so thick I doubt if I’ll need to shoot beyond 50.  I don’t expect to see much during the early season but I’ll give it a go.

Young eyes and a lot of shooting. These mule deer are like clock work every morning and night.

I still want to do a little more shooting this week.

     I'm just stoked to be hunting with my son this year (his first).  Got some nice animals on the trail cam so we will see.  I have to wonder if this is how my Dad felt when he took us boys out the first year.  We are going to have a full camp of hunters and none hunters alike so kills or not its going to be great!

I can't believe it's almost time! I hunted three years with my smokepole, then ended up tagging one last year in the rifle season with my shotgun. So, this year I'm going back to the muzzleloader season again and really hoping to make a kill with it! Actually, two kills, since I have a second deer permit. Looking forward to it!

Wishing everybody good luck this yr.I won't be hunting just got back to work after having shoulder surgery and being off for 7 months. Don't think they'll let me have the time off :-( to go hunting.

Besides I haven't even had the chance to sight my knight in after  putting peep sites on her.
So GOOD LUCK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I archery elk hunted this year.  Doesn't seem right going after deer in the farmlands and pastures AFTER hitting the mountains for the elk.  Don't worry though....a buck and doe will be hitting the dirt this year thanks to the second deer tag.   Just a matter of getting er done....

any legal buck  w/ in 200 yrds

Your not the only one. I put a Williams Peep on my TC in April and have yet to go shoot it. I need to get my butt in gear.

[MichaelD]

My peeps should be arriving tomorrow
  Is that wrong to admit outloud
?  ;-)

[WestPlains_Drifter]

Sighted in at 100 yds. Still debating the first days hunt area. Little different this year after the change to buck only. Just gonna work a little harder to put some meat on the table.

Side Note: not trying to thread jack here, but I have a general 2010 MZ season question. WTF happened to the MICA PEAK 127 GMU. No muzzleloader at all this year? I just noticed this today.

[unluckyjohn]

Cant wait! mountain house meals came in the mail, gun all sighted in and cleaned and cleaned again. Backpack for the long hike is 75% loaded. now just wait and go over the list of crap and look at the maps..
