Muzzleloader Kills, 2011

[dadsbuckshot]

This thread is coming a bit late into the 2011 seasons, but it is better late than never.

As Mr. Jake Allen put it:
Deer, hog, elk, bear, coyote, small game - any game with a smoke pole.....
Post them here; pictures, story, all will be appreciated and enjoyed.
Good luck!


Looking forward to seeing the pictures and reading the stories for 2011

bulloch county 8 point muzzleloader buck.172 lbs ....i let a nice 14 inch six point walk at 7:45 am and man it paid off....this fella strolled up to the edge of the hardwoods were they meet the pines at 52 yards at 10:50 am. my knight put him on the ground. he was slightly quartered away .i put it tight behind his shoulder and it broke the shoulder on the other side.man there was'nt a bit of wind that morning! im reloading as fast as i can an theres a cloud of smoke in front of me like a fog bank,and the whole time i here him thrashing around doin the curly shuffle and im blowing at the smoke cloud as if that would help...leaning waayyy out "fully harnessed i might add" and all got quiet...smoke cleared and i seen his belly//it was a fun morning ...

End Stuffer Birds

I know there's controversy over the newer style guns and turkeys, but they are 2011 kills. They tasted just like I killed them with a shot gun or bow!

Shot with a .300 Grain Nosler Partition in .458 Caliber,MMC Sabot, and 110 grains of BH 209, all from a T/C Encore. It was a complete pass thru the shield in the right shoulder and the ribs on the left. My 10 year old son and hunting buddy was right there with me.

First Traditional muzzleloader deer

Got this young doe this morning, after a 30 yard shot she went maybe 30 more and piled up.

7 pointer killed 10-17 at 605pm...I was watching 9 does (4 big nanny goats and 5 little ones) feeding in fornt of me when he comes in from behind me. Shot at 30 yds using a Traditions LD in .45 100grs Pyrodex RS and a 225gr Aerotip. He ran less than 20yds. Biggest buck yet with my Muzzleloader in 20 years of hunting with one.
