Great Job! tell him congrats for me

haha, I believe it got knocked off the day I put it behind the truck seat. Never gonna do that again..lol

I would certianly give almost anything to have another chance at the buck with a zeroed in weapon, Like ya'll said. Defiantly a once in a life time deal.

Back in early muzzleloader I was out huntin on a property that doesnt have much competition. Anyways while I was sitting in the summit a big flock of turkeys came around the ridgeside. About 5 minutes after that I noticed a black blob in a thick et down below me about 75 yards, I figured it was just another turkey but the texture of it's hide didnt look right, I put the scope on it and about rolled out of my stand. It was a big BLACK bodied with a big white rack I could see through the limbs. All I could make out was 8-10 points but the mass was amazing on him. I never could tell width because he kept broadside. I took a rest off the tree stand and settled the crosshairs on his shoulder, cocked the hammer back and shot. When the smoke cleared he was still laying there, I was so excited I thought I had just completely rolled him, I turned my head and looked back and he was up and calmly walking away down the holler slowly, I reloaded my muzzleloader quicker than I believe I ever have. He stopped at about 100 yards now and I had a opening at his vital, I took a rest again and shot. This time I heard leaves a crunchin and him running away hard. I got down and loaded my muzzleloader again just incase. I look for blood and the deer for about 30-45 minutes before I go out and get my brother, I get him to help me look and we look for that thing fot about 3 1/2 hours in the dark, not finding anything except some big tracks from where he ran. My mother even let me stay home from school the next day and me and my cousin go back and look again for another 2 hours before coming back out. I decided to shoot my muzzleloader and see how it's shooting, after I cleaned it and shot it 2 times it was shooting 4 inches low which made me feel good in a way because I know I completly missed instead of a bad shot and that he's still out there. Have you all ever heard of a black deer, ever killed one or just seen one? This deer wasnt just a dark drown it was as black as night. So let me know if you have any info. Thanks, Luke

Thanks, Good luck on gettin another one! Our season here goes out this Saturday and I'm happy with what I've harvested so I'm focusing now more on predator hunting.

HunterLuke Team #4 5-point

Finally got my computer,here are some pics of my 5-point I got back in early muzzleloader.

I'm on the schools computer right now ya'll. So far I have killed a 5-point and missed an absoloutly huge buck(gun was off pretty bad) I will post pics when I get my computer. Hopefully I'll have something bigger to enter in the contest by then though. Goodluck ya'll. Luke

Hey ya'll my home computer has crashed and I won't be getting a new one untill Christmas. I'm at school right now so thats how I am posting this. I justed wanted to post this so ya'll didn't think I wasn't participating in the contest and just left the site. So goodluck this season ya'll and kill some big deer!!! I will try and check in at school whenever I can. And if I kill anything I won't be able to post pictures untill after Christmas when I get a new PC. Sorry for not being to post them sooner. Luke

I missed out hunting this morning because of this dang H1N1 flu junk. It's honestly some of the worste stuff I've had but I don't hardly ever get sick. Gonna give it a try this evening if I'm feeling any better.

Saw around five does and one 4-point today. There was one giant doe I swear she looked black as coal she was so dark. If she would have came about 30 yards closer she might have had an arrow go through here..lol 4-point was all in range but wasn't what I was after.

My realtree outfitter series summit viper arrived yesterday. I'll be able to get back to them big bucks now and not have to worry about some piece of crap stealing my stand.

I'm also from Virginia and the realtree AP blends in very well with my terrain here, which can be pretty diverse. From open hardwoods, to cedar thickets, and 25 feet up in the tree

I've been seeing plenty of does and a couple button bucks. Only horns I've saw has been a tall and wide 4-point. I let him walk, The way he's built and how his antlers were he should be a brute if he lives past this season. Other than that I havent seen any other bucks

Virginia's archery season opens on Saturday. Hopefully I'll luck up, not sure.
