  Muzzleloader opened yesterday in VA.  My SIL's been bowhunting a certain buck that frequents his yard.  But with limited time and not being able to close the deal he's figuring the extra killing distance of his muzzleloader should do it.  So not long after daylight yesterday he hears ravens carrying on and buzzards circling.  So he goes to investigate.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 Seems the neighbor arrowed him but couldn't recover him.   SUCKS.

That sucks.
 
A few years ago, me and a couple of buddies stumbled across a Mulie buck that had been shot.  Either someone took a shot at him and didn't know they got a hit, or they didn't want to take the time to track him.  The bad part is Mulies are becoming scarce back home.  I hate seeing that kind of stuff happen.

That sucks Earl. I've been chasing the same buck for 3 years, on game cameras, and never seen him. Last week I finally saw him, only to find out he broke one side off, and I couldn't take him like that. While I have hope that he'll survive until next year, I can say I know a little bit how you SIL feels........ And it sucks.
