My son got his first and second deer with a M/L
« on: October 21, 2004, 04:52:48 PM »
We went out tonight in Maryland for Muzzleloader season. I had a doe and 2 fawns walk out about 70 yards from me. I decided not to shoot so my son that was 300 yards from me could get a shot at deer down his side of the field. Well the doe and the 2 fawns went across the field and my buddy shoots at the doe and missed. Well they went back into the woods. I thought well my son may not get a shot tonight. I look to where my son is sitting and there ia a doe by his stand, and then I see the deer fall and then hear the shot. My son got his first deer. He looks back at me and gives me the thumbs up. Then I see him reload and sit back down, about 2 minutes later I see him shoot again. I get down from my stand because we only had about 10 more minutes of shooting time left, and I go to where my son is. He is at the deer in the field and he said the other deer he shot at ran back into the woods. We went to where he last saw the deer and found blood, we tracked it into the woods about 30 yards, and there was his second deer. Boy am I proud of him.  :-D  He was using an Encore 45 caliber Muzzleloader with 2 triple7 pellets and the barnes 195 gr. 45 cal sabots and a 25ACP small rifle primer. I am going back tomorrow night.  :D

Sounds like a nice job by your son, Redhawk!  You must be some kinda proud!  Good luck on your next outing!

Tell him Congrats from all of us.  Was the second deer a doe also?

Hopefully, getting the doe under his belt will make the first buck come more easily.

Congrats Redhawk! I know how good that feels. It has been a few moons since all my kids shot their first deer but just this season my youngest boy shot his first muzzleloader bull moose. He was using one of my omegas and it was the most nervous I've been in a long time standing  with him calling out the bull.
