Last week, one of my best friends said his son was anxious for rifle season this year, hoping to get his first deer. I actually gifted him his first rifle last year, a Ruger American 308, thanks to @BobbyV .

I said, “Why wait for rifle season? It’s muzzleloader season now.” As it turned out, he was headed to the national FFA convention in Indianapolis and wouldn’t be home until Saturday night. Still, I got my muzzleloader ready and sent it home with him. Told him all he has to do is cap it, cock the hammer, and shoot straight. Eli was able to go out on Sunday afternoon, sat for 2 hrs and this guy came out at 120 yds. One shot and the buck went down in 40 yds. Not bad at all for his first deer, hunting for only 2 hrs with a borrowed muzzleloader.
