Early MZ Success!
« on: October 20, 2011, 06:38:41 PM »
The early muzzleloader season in Maryland began today and continues through Saturday, had a great start to it this morning.  Had deer all over from before light until I shot this one at almost 8am, passed two smaller bucks waiting on him.  One tine broke off at the main beam, but still very happy.  Chip shot, 25 yards, but I like 'em close.  I musta put some kind of special magic in this .54 Beck when I built it, because whitetails just seem to run to it.  Three season of use, this is the third buck killed, along with two does, with it.

 Yea that's a good buck and a fine shot! Not sure what part of Maryland you are in but ya gotta chase some up north. Our herd has steadily declined ever since they brought in antlerless with antlered deer during the 2 week centerfire season. Sure do miss the days where our deer activity was like your experience.

Dang, that's a huge buck!  Those antlers are massive!  Congratulations on that bruiser.

That's a beauty all right! Guess I should start hunting with my .54 Beck if it will draw them like magnets! We can't hunt with a gun until Nov. 15th here in Michigan.

What a nice big buck with thick antlers. Shot placement look a hair near perfect. Thanks for sharing. AJ

  Nice deer Osprey. Is he an old buck? Sure has a good body size, and with the heavy beams but shorter points, had to ask if he is an old guy.Good shooting too, along with a very classy firearm. ;)
