2007 Manitoba Muzzle Loader Buck

[gunasauras]

Shot this guy this evening (22 Oct 07), first day of the M/L season here in MB, at 5:30pm. Basic 5x5 with some character. Shot with a CVA Wolf 50 cal inline, 2x 50gr 777 pellets with a Hornandy 300 gr XTP-HP sabot at 30 meters. Not the biggest, but I'm quite happy with him...UPDATE, he weighed in at 130 lbs dressed on the hook minus guts, hide, and head, not bad for a 2 1/2 yr old.
Had 37 deer come in on the stand tonight, 10 of which were bucks, this guy having the most character. All bucks came in immediately trailing does.....should have brought a video camera. I had a 3x3 sparring with a 4x4 125M from the stand in the middle of a field.....

Wow! 37 deer... What an awesome spot you have for deer hunting.

WTG, that one will be good eating. Did you not get an extra tag? I will get out on Saturday, and all next week too. Bin scouting a bit and seen lots of deer.

That's a dandy buck!

Well done!

Sounds like a nice 'hot spot' - don't tell anybody.......

Still too warm in S. Ont. for the arrow gun (crossbow) - today's high was 22C ! But nice for working outside !!!

Good job Darrell!! Nice buck, enjoy some tasty meals. Another week till our rifle season

I can't get over it. Still thinking about the 37 deer. I haven't seen 37 deer all together in my life.

Extra tag.....did I miss something in the regs? Is there a second tag for M/L as well? I though there was only the second antlerless tag for rifle.....

I think it's time for me to move! I have been hunting 4 years with a rifle and this was my first year with a bow, I have seen one buck and I didn't hesitate to shoot, 3 pt 152lbs (dressed) I was happy.

The second antlerless tag can be taken with bow, muzzle, or rifle.
