Here it is guys, my FIRST Muzzleloading Deer. I started last year and didn't see anything. I had this one step out on me before legal light. I waited patiently, and he went off. He came back about an hour later...BIG MISTAKE! LOL

For those that are interested:
My Setup
Thompson Center Triumph .50 cal
250gr TC Shockwave bonded
Harvester Short Black Sabot
130gr 777 pellets (2x50 + 1x30)
CCI primer
Nikon Omega 3-9x40 (Nikoplex)
Talley Mount

I had to throw one shoulder away, and it put a hole bigger than a 50 cent piece in his ribs. He went horizontal as soon as I shot him...the way I like it!

I'd rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6!

yea, he had a lot of fat on him. Dad said my deer had more fat than his 7 pointer that he got last Saturday! Dad & I believe the rut will be in early this year. Thanks for the replies guys--Bboy623
