How was your Black powder hunt?

[Bulls eye]

I enjoyed mine. Killed my first buck with a muzzleloader and saw deer most everytime. Most of the movement was at last light due to the moon. I did see one decent buck cruising about 3:30 one afternoon. Ill be out friday and saturday but gonna use my crossbow since I cant kill a buck with my muzzleloader. Still got one buck tag left and saw two monsters a week ago...

Good so far...
Saw plenty of deer, 10-15 doe and 6-7 bucks at least on every hunt. Saw 2-3 shooter bucks each day and shot a decent one Sunday morning then my wife shot one that evening. We'll be back out to try and get my buddy a good buck.

I hunted the first 4 days pretty solid. I like to get into the stand at least an hour before legal shooting light. The moon would go below the horizon about that time, but it was still fairly bright. Just to my north is a no-till wheat field full of stubble and new growth that they are feeding in. Pretty easy to spot the contrasting colors of the deer and stubble. They were moving out of the field while it was still dark.
Later about 0900, I'd start to see them moving around a little, then they would settle in and not move until late evening. Walking out in the dark through the CRP grass with my green LED headlamp, I'd see lots of eyes looking back at me from the distance. Saw several nice bucks and tons of does, but none were shot. I won't get to hunt BP any more this season, so it will be back to bow.

I've seen three does tonight.

I saw five bucks last Sat. evening, my cousin has hunted every day this week but the deer have slowed down. I think the warm temps and death makes them move more at night. Another guy on the lease killed a medium sized eight point Tues. His brother saw some does and a couple of spikes.

A friend just texted me that he shot a buck. He was lamenting that it needed another year, but I can assure you, it was a decent buck.

Shot a doe Saturday evening with the smoke pole. Otherwise this week has just been a lot more crowded as I have kept on bow hunting.
