This is my first ever muzzleloader deer. He is an 8 pointer, 130# and I shot him Saturday (12/8/12) morning at 0745, about a 25 yard shot, put one 50cal Powerbelt in the boiler room and he ran about 40 yards and piled up.

Here he is when I came up to him, I was like :shock: :shock: :

After we dragged him out to where we parked:

My two oldest kids were pretty excited too (Autumn has a cold so not feeling 100% but still happy)!!

In the processing tent 8-) 8-)

After an hour with me and a sharp knife, waiting for his trip to the taxidermist :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
