Muzzleloader Sucess

Recommended Posts

My brother and I had a successful muzzleloader hunt this past weekend. We waited a long time for this tag! We made it up to camp Thursday before the opener and immediately heard the bulls bugling that afternoon and trough the night. Had a chance on a nice bull friday morning came in quickly to calls, but winded us before I could make a shot. We had some better set up Friday afternoon with the wind in our face, located a bull and began calling, and my bull came in on a sting from about 800 yards out and I made my shot at about 15-20 feet! He came in screaming and drooling the whole way. He dropped in his tracks. After getting a closer look at him we found and antler from another bull broken off in the back of his neck buried over an inch and a half deep. Crazy tough animals.

My brother got a chance at his bull Sunday evening, after playing cat and mouse with a few bulls, we were able to call his in, again another 15-20 shot and he also dropped in his tracks. Fun packing his bull out under a blood moon!

Unbelievable hunt, had a blast, and a huge thanks to my brother in law for coming up to give us a hand packing out these guys! Can't wait for the next elk hunt hopefully sooner than later! Time to focus on coues now in a few weeks!

Great story. Many years ago we had a bull in camp with a tine in the back of its head. Ended up the tine was off a bull a friends wife had shot the same day. Good job. Lark.

Very cool story and pics! Thank for sharing. I am imagining that bull all fired up at 20 ft when your smoke wagon went off and then waiting for the cloud to clear and seeing him laying there.

Congrats on the double! If you get him mounted you should have the taxidermist include that tine stuck in his neck.
