I will be getting out starting Tuesday and am going to try to get out at least 4 times before the season is over. Or until I finish filling my last 3 deer tags.

It's cold got late start but sure is nice out they should move good seems like when the sun is up good they move best.Dont know why I'm not taged out guess it's all the cleaning after the kill if it weren't so cold I wouldn't mind . This 50 has been loaded 3 days now think I better shoot it today.

It's awesome, so nice to be hunting in the real cold with a little snow on the ground. My dad took the ugliest spike I've ever seen in my life yesterday, good meat buck, these things have some real nice knockdown power.

Yep sending 245gr slug downrange with 150 powder, will put the smack on one!

yup, we used 250 grain hornady sabots and 100 grains of goex. Seems to be a good, accurate combo.

I didn't realize my county had a ML season this yr or I would've still been hunting.... Looks like I got a good friend who's gonna load me his ML so I can try my luck. Like Sig, I'll be after 1 of 2 bucks and that's it. Checked the cam this morning and 1 of the 2 I'm after was at my feeder at 5:58 Friday evening cry

**POSTED LAST TUESDAY***

Today was the last day for 'Alternative Methods' (for me that's MUZZLELOADER) deer season here in Missouri. Sat thru a downpour (two matter of fact) in a ladder stand wondering if my ML would go BOOM if given the chance. Well about 1015 my question was answered- YES!!! Of my three tags only had my 'Antlerless' tag left so a doe it was. Medium size- will make EXCELLENT EATIN! Temperature was 43 degrees when I got on stand at 0650- now it is 35 with forecast of low teens by midnite.
This is only the second deer I have taken with my ML - last one over 10 years ago. Have several hogs with it

Equipment: H&R SIDEKICK 50cal, 100gr Blackhorn 209 powder, 245gr PowerBelt HP, and Fiocci 209 primer.
