Title: My best muzzy buck
Post by: crazyantler on October 20, 2017, 05:26:25 PM: I got on this buck opening weekend and after a 500 yard stak, I got into position. Waiting for it to feed past me, gave me a few moments to catch my nerves and breath. Then at 80 yards he stopped broadside and I shot. However I immediately knew it was over because my cap went off but it didn’t ignite the powder. As I watched the Buck trot off over the hillside my heart sank. I was filled with all kinds of feelings that I was trying to process. However the story ends well because the second weekend he was back his feeding spot. After spotting the buck bedded down in the CRP grass I made a stock within 80 yards which included an extensive belly crawl to get redemption with a one shot clean kill.
