Good luck. How's the crowd? Is it as bad as everyone says it is on ohio public land?
Thanks, not to bad where we are at. Alot more people during 1st week of November then now.
Last Day of Late Muzzleloader here in Va
Decided to hunt on the ground today.
Went back to where I killed the 2 does in rifle season. Same game plan. Slip along slowly and hope to sneak up on one.
The deer read the script. Slipped up on 2 bucks feeding in a hardwood patch. Let the smoke roll on the closest one, bang flop.
The other one hauled behind over a low ridge. I reloaded and gave chase. Caught sight of him as I slithered over the top of the ridge. Crawled to within 20 yards of him and let him hold a 240 gr XTP.

2. Turned out to be a Shed antler buck… small buck probably a 1.5 year old
Stunk of rut… black tarsals
Weighed 125-130#
