The Virginia muzzleloader season starts tomorrow and I think I am ready. Good luck if you're going and hopefully you have pics to share by dark.
First deer hunt of the year tomorrow

So far Opening Day has been my best day. Saw three that morning while shivering in the breeze and wishing I hadn't forgotten to put on long johns under my pants. Of course the basket 8 that walked to my tree could've been bigger so he got a pass. I sat in a pasture for the PM and the only deer I saw there was good enough for me. After practicing during the week and having no issues I stretched the range to about 200 and got both lungs and the heart.
Deer made it maybe 60 to 80 yds and I had a good fix on where he ran into the brush. I couldn't find the impact, but went in where I saw the brush swinging around when he disappeared. As I ducked under some briars I looked up to see him lying 15 yds away. Luckily I had to drag him only about 50 yds to where I could bring my truck. He has seven points, dark antlers, and was three and a half. Pictures will get added tomorrow.
