Muzzleloader Bucker
Classic rut hunt, just off wind of a funnel. Does all around me all morning. 11am a doe comes by at 12 yards on a fast paced walk, mouth open, breathing hard. Few minutes later I hear the splish splosh, splish splash of a buck in tow, Came right in doing some trailing grunts, shot him at 12 yards. Besides the 1.5 mile haul, it all seemed too easy. The rut is nice after the hard knocks of beast style early season hunting.
There he lies, that is the exit, entrance was in top of other shoulder:
Decided to float him out through a cypress hollow rather than drag him the whole way:
Once I reached the end of the cypress I stashed him in the shade and headed back to the truck for the cart, a life saver:
This is my first animal I have shot since switching from Powerbelts to Hornady SST, all I can say is WOW!

Great shot, nice buck.
You can fool some of the bucks, all of the time, and fool all of the bucks, some of the time, however you certainly can't fool all of the bucks, all of the time.

Re: Muzzleloader Bucker
NICE!
Wouldn't floating him out down there be considered trolling for gators?

I thought your rut was Dec/Jan?
I quit using the Hornady SST's in my ML because they fragged like grenades, went to the Hornady XTP.
