Hunting certainly isn't a sure thing. I used to design houses and built for utmost efficiency, but Hunting for meat is the least efficient method to procure it. Yet, there's just something about this activity that keeps me coming back to try again.
Like you, last Tuesday evening I had a surgical sight on a doe after allowing her to graze close and broadside. When the hammer fell all that happened was a metallic click. She nearly jumped out of her skin, staring intently at my position in the brush. I thumbed back the hammer quickly, lined up again, or so I thought, and promptly missed her in the rush of the moment. Bumfuzzled, yes. Will we continue this passion? Absolutely!

No disrespect but it seems like alot of people are more concerned on bein a movie producer than bein involved a focused on the hunt.

There are folks that hunt to hunt, others that would like to film their hunt, and then there are the film makers that want to film a hunt. We all seem come here, shoot and go into the woods for different and valid reasons. And some actually don’t use muzzleloaders when they hunt….. hard to understand or explain.

Lots of critics out there, but I have to respect a guy that would step forward and admit his mistakes. I have no doubt you will learn from this and next time nail one !!

Always have your muzzle well outside the blind. I've learned that lesson also.

I call this - no sense being a dumbass if you dont prove it once in a while. My problem is I seem to prove it all the time. And I like to film my bird hunts, even training runs. Keep on filming.

In Florida, at 65yo you get a free hunting license. That plus some of the largest National
Forests East of the Big River gives you cheap access to food grade meat. Tons of hogs too.
Hogs are year round. With the free hunting license you also get a free fishing license.
With the trusty old Hawken and a fishing pole you have the grocery back-up plan, on
the cheap, for old geezers like me. The young pups will need to spend a little to hunt-
but it is still a cheap way to fill the freezer.

While I’m not a big fan of videoing while hunting, in this case had the shot not been filmed it’s possible the miss could have been written off as a simple miss, end the error not understood and corrected. IMO.

Next time, ditch the blind.

 

[Howie1968]

Next time, ditch the blind.

in the torrential down pour we had up to a minute before the shot and video not possible

That will teach you Howard, when I screw up I keep it to myself. "Was that you that shot? Nope wasn't me" : < )
