Sitting in my elk camp now around the fire dealing with the last 3 days of being rained on chasing a few bulls around with my bow got me missing the warm southern weather. I started the season off with killing a solid buck on the opening morning. I found this buck on the 2024 late December hunt helping my dad. We opted to not shoot him last year as he had half an antler broken off. I kept tabs on the buck from February on. Opening morning I went to where he had been frequently spotted and never turned him up. About 9:30 with not seeing much I decided to change spots and go look for my backup buck. To my surprise the first buck I found in the new location was the buck I was initially looking for. I had never seen him in this area. After watching him bed I snuck in and shot him at 227 yards. Hit him mid body. Slightly panicked I scrambled to reload the muzzleloader. Shot again in a rush and made a bad follow-up shot knocking a chunk out of the top of his back. He went and laid down and I watched him expire about 5 minutes later. My apologies on sub par pictures as I’m not good at solo photography deal. Went over and quartered the buck packed him out and all was wrapped up before 1:00pm opening day. Following that 2 weeks later I took my Mom on her whitetail hunt who turned 66 on opening day. It was slow. Didn’t see any mature bucks. We hunted 3 more days until one of the bucks I was looking for finally showed up. Nice 100”ish type 3x4. We played cat and mouse with him but he unfortunately disappeared on us. A while later my mom found a nice little 3x3 across the canyon that she said she would be more than happy to take. We snuck in to position and set her up 290 yards from the bedded buck. After 3 1/2 hours the buck finally stood. She heart shot the buck and he dropped where he stood. She was extremely happy as this was the first coues she had taken in the last 10 years. She’s taken a lot of time off hunting to help take care of family and grandchildren so this ment a lot to her. Couldn’t of been more proud of my mom. it was a tough 4 days on her hiking the hills getting after it in the October sun. Currently still a busy season going on as I am on a late archery Bull elk hunt and my 10 and 12 year old kids have rifle bull hunts after thanksgiving. We have one late December whitetail tag left to fill this year and can’t be more excited for it.

Whitetail hunting was good for us down south. One booner and a smaller but nice representation 85ish for my senior mother. We’re in the middle of 3 Bull elk tags between late archery and 2 late rifle. Then my wife’s late December whitetail hunt. I’ll give an update after new years but the deer hunting has been standard as normal. Grind hard,… and kill good bucks.

@MULEPACKHUNTER received my Magnus RR end cap today. Can’t say enough of how nice the fit and finish of the machine work on this conversion end cap is. Thank you again I can’t wait to get some rounds down range through it.

Man that came out super clean! Can’t wait to get my hands on one! Curious what weight difference there is between that and the brake of if it’s negligible? Are you going to put any spanner wrench grooves in the end caps like the brake Incase of it getting really tight due to heat/firing cycles or is in not needed with the new end caps?

Good deal. Let me know when you get the conversion end caps for the RR cans done. I’d definitely be interested in picking one up to switch between that and the brake.

I have a TBAC Magnus CB RR 30 cal. I live in vail/Tucson. I’ll be home on Wednesday from Alaska. If you can use my supressor for whatever you’re looking to do I’d be happy to help out.
