Haven't been successful on deer yet, but I did take a turkey with my muzzle loader this morning. 10 1/2" beard.

My buck this year is my 2nd favorite hunting story. Opening morning, I walked out of camp to my stand since everyone wasn't ready yet and I didn't want to wait for a ride. Left camp about 45 minutes before sunrise and had a little trouble getting my climbing stand up my tree. Once I always take a minute once I finish the climb to cool off and let things settle down before I put my gloves and mask on. This year, I sit down and look to my left to start the scan of the woods and see a dang deer leg disappearing into some brush. Since climbing a pine tree in a climbing stand is a little loud I start cussing myself for not paying more attention as I was climbing and figure I spooked the deer. But I keep watching and I can see the dang critter through the brush eating some grass. Sucker then turned around and headed for a clearing. I get my rifle up and as soon as it stepped out I saw at least 8 nice tall point in my scope and squeezed of a round as soon as my cross hairs settled on the shoulder and dropped him like a rag doll. Look at my watch and it was 6:56am. My Dad, uncle, and cousins had either just got to their stands or just started climbing and where cussing me a little. Ended up having to drag his heavy but out alone but it was well worth it!

So, I'm sitting in the blind after a 3/4 mile ride on an ATC, then a 1/4 mile walk on foot to the blind in sub freezing temps.
I get this from the wife sitting in her recliner out the front window.

My wife was hugely pissed at me this season because I wouldn't let her shoot one about that size from the front porch.
