Thats me right there. This is a first in 45 years hunting. When the second buck was coming in I was OK but alas, his nose, my smell and the swirling wind combined to save his lil whitetailed arse! :haha:

No buck fever here!
This is a proud young friend I've been mentoring and his first muzzleloader buck. Nice young Sitka blacktail, though it's bigger than it looks. Bud is 6'8" and pushing 300, which tends to shrink any buck! :grin:
He hunted hard for 6 days, getting spoofed by all bucks and passing up does. Finally saw this one at over 200 yards, stalked to about 100, then made a quick doe call when the buck heard him yet couldn't quite see him. Bud shot him at less than 50 yards "in self-defense" as it charged right in on him. Gun was the 54 cal TC New Englander I gave him and 80 grains of 3f under a PRB.
Cool Hand Luke for the shot, but was shaking so bad afterward that he couldn't hold the knife! :rotf:
