Took this buck at 120 yard this morning. Only the 2nd shot I’ve ever taken with the gun first time muzzleloading. Hoping to add an elk to this coming up here shortly

Opening evening of muzzleloader season, October 26, Palouse region. Strong winds kept me out of my tree stand, so I walked over to a west-trending draw that connects valley-bottom hiding cover (aspen, cottonwood, hawthorn, and ponderosa pine) with a ridge-top field that had been planted to garbanzo beans. I settled in under a few hawthorns overlooking a small wet meadow crisscrossed with deer trails. Around 4:30 PM, the deer started moving. A doe and fawn walk through, and I smile at the antics of the little one, just about to lose the last of its spots. Around 5:00 PM, I shift around to adjust my shooting sticks and seated position. Wrong moment! I spot the flashing tail of a deer just down the slope. A bit annoyed at myself, I continue the wait. At 5:30 PM, I spot movement to my right. A deer is walking down into the draw, and a quick glance with the binoculars confirms that he is a young 4x4. I contemplate letting him walk, as he is clearly a 2.5 year old, but he is large-bodied, and I think of venison. He grazes facing towards me for 6-7 minutes, and then turns and walks up the draw towards my left. He is quartering to, and I stop him with a mouth grunt just before he gets into cover. At the shot, he turns around, runs 50 yards, and falls into the center of the draw. I am happy and grateful for this beautiful deer, covered thick with fat and with very good venison!

CONGRATS!!! What range do you estimate your shot. I am still waiting for the seasons to open over here!
Headed to the farm today to do a little shooting.

He was at 50 yards (added that to post). I was seated, shooting from sticks, and uphill at about a 15 degree slope. I can usually get a 2" group under those conditions, so I wasn't worried about hitting him well. Since he was quartering to me, I did damage some meat/bone in the front left quarter, but the bullet exited through the rear margin of the right lung- thus a solid double-lung harvest.
And to everyone thus far- nice deer! Great stories, great photos.
