Just had to tell someone.
Shot my second eight pointer of the season tonight.
Shot a large 125" eight pointer Tuesday morning with my slug gun.
Have three stands set up here in Egg Harbor Township. Went to a stand that I have not sat in since last year. Was totally flooded out. Walked 1/2 mile to one of the other stands that I have sat at three times this year without seeing a deer. Since I shot the first 8 with my slug gun I took my new muzzel loader that I have not killed a deer with yet. At 4;30 I saw a deer that I thought was a 4 pointer about 40 yards away,came in with a doe.. Antlers and blackpowder. I told the wife that if it had antlers I was gonna shoot it. Got the gun up and it walked behind a tree, of course. Waited and it came out and quartered toward me. Put the cross hairs on its front shoulder. Big cloud of smoke and the deer runs off infront of me on three legs. Went about 50 yards and dropped in the woods out of sight. Called my friends that heard the shot. They came over and we looked. Found the blood trail and the best thing anybody has ever said was look theres your deer. Turned out to be a 8 pointer. What a week two eight pointers in two days.
Both deer were with does.
