    Default Very late season Does


    Killed both these big does within 5 minutes, shot 1st one at about 35 yds and then 3 more came walking out to my left 2 spooked and the other big doe hung around while I crammed a Barnes Expander down my .54 Firehawk, its very hard to be quiet when your loading a bullet that takes all your weight/strength to get down the barrel. She even looked at me for a about a minute when I had bullet about halfway down had to stand thee like a statue until she started to walk then rammed it home and shot her at about 22 yds..
    1st deer ran about 80 yds with its heart blown in half and 2nd doe made it about 90 yds or a bit more with lungs/heart destroyed.
    Forgot load was 85 gr FF 777 and a 325 gr Barnes Expander w/purple sabot.

    I love muzzleloader hunting. Congratulations nice does. I have been using a inline muzzleloader for years now but I remember the old style and still have a few. Including my dads old 54 TC. Them 54s are deadly on both ends. I used a 50 Hawkins and it was very accurate. Glad we have the new inline muzzleloaders with scopes makes it easier on my bad eyes

    That’s the way to fill the freezer!
    Does are the best eating, IMHO.
    Love Lowe175’s quote, 54s are deadly on both ends! So true.
    Still shooting a 54.
