Our first mule deer shot with a muzzleloader last season
« on: February 24, 2012, 11:44:31 AM »
My buddys deer took 5 hour to get it out of the canyon. His was shot at 200+ yards.  As we loaded him in the truck and drove down the mountain. There was a clear cut just a coulpe hundred yard down. I saw same deer move to my left. 3 doe and a 2x3 muley. *censored* I jumped out and ran into the clear cut. Then I saw a 3x3 with eye gaurds and 2 extra kickers standing broadside looking at me. I capped my muzzle and mounted the rifle. "*censored*" He moved and the only shot i had was the neck. I aimed cross my fingers and fired.........SMOKE>>>>>>>>SMOKE........... SMOKE........ as it cleared i could see legs in the air. He was down.  THE END

You might not count the eye guards but i do. The kickers are hard to see.  look at the base of the antlers on the back side by the ear.  Both sides have 3" kickers. If I counted the kicks it would be a 5x5.  Hell I count all point.  The state says 2x2 with eye guards 1" or more is legal. That makes it a 3x3. I wish all hunter called 2x2 with eye gaurds 2x2's and not 3x3's. Then it would make more deer for my buddys and I to fill are tag.

Congrats, there is always a battle over eye guards and small points. Don't let them get to you, some people forget the definition of a LEGAL point :chuckle: :tup:

Nice set of deer!  side note I was brought up to count one side if there are even.. a 4x4 is a 4 point and a 4x3 is still a 4x3 on the east coast a 4x4 is an 8 point...cheaters! jk
