Sweetness. Sounds like a fine kid - what age is he?
P.S. I got my first muzzleloader deer yesterday - I'm fired up too. It was an east-central Okla doe that weighed 82 lbs dressed. Exactly 80 yards, laser-ranged. 275 gr powerbelt .45 cal bullet over 100 gr Triple 7. Deer ran 45 yards before collapsing. Double lung hit. Jacket from bullet was under skin on far side. Rest of bullet went on through.
