ML Buck

I took this buck last Saturday morning during Georgia's ML opener. I had just sighted in a Leupold VX-3HD 2.5-8x, but iron sights would have done fine as it had walked straight to my tree and I shot it at about 12 yards. It's not a monster, but I was happy to put some venison in the freezer. We processed it at home making 2 kinds of brats, Italian sausage, bacon burger, and packaged up the backstraps, tenderloins, and a couple roasts.

I shot it with my T/C Encore with .50 cal barrel. 100 grains of Blackhorn 209 pushing a Lee 452-300 in a sabot.

Congrats! Fresh venison is always good!

Nice kill! It’s always nice to get something on opening day.

Well done on the ML buck!!

Any deer on the ground is a good one. Nice hunt.

Looks tasty ,congrats/Ed

A great way to start the season.

Good morning and Congratulations !
Looks like a fine eating buck to my eyes !
12 yards must have been a tough shot through a scope! "Which hair clump am I looking at ?"
Should have been able to recover the slug digging down about 2 feet.....

congrats !!! This time of the year is hard for me we moved to fl 17 years ago .You can take the hunter out of the woods sad face ......... But you cant take the woods out of the hunter

Prime deer right there, way to go!

Congratulations! I guess the muzzle flash probably blinded him so he couldn't run to far.

Congrats on the buck, should be tasty.
Muzzleloader opening day for Arkansas was yesterday, I saw two button bucks and a coyote that had a bobbed tail, maybe 4", he looked like he'd had a bad day so I let him go.
How good does the Encore shoot? I've read that there great, but have never shot one myself.
