Title: Opening day Early Muzz.
Post by: Buck86 on October 14, 2017, 08:45:33 PM: A little late on this short post. just after 7 am opening morning about 2 miles from my truck behind a locked gate. This is my first muzzy elk a little 4X5, using a knight bighorn with 110 grns 2f triple seven and 300 grn Hornaday sst's ignited by Remington #11 percussion cap. Not too much to tell besides I spotted these elk and he was the only bull I saw put the sneak to get a little closer and then took the shot. The rest of the story is work from that point on. A very good day in my opinion.

That has got to make you have a great day! Really nice harvest! I would think you and your family will really benefit from it!

Post by: Buck86 on October 25, 2017, 07:11:22 PM: Thanks all for the positive feed back. I really am happy with this bull. I feel grateful that I had the opportunity to harvest it and was actually able to make it all come together. I am still very happy with this being my first muzzleloader elk. And yes the freezer got filled up with really good eats. Thanks again!!

Thanks Buck
