Hope your scope recovered.



I simply hate the no reaction what so ever. Makes one think he has missed and can result in additional holes and more blood shot groceries.

Fortunately in most instances as I'm settling in for a second round, they tip over.


I was way up in a tree but the deer was only about 40yds from me. The snow looked like a blood slushy or something. I've never had one bleed completely out like that and it wasn't a large gaping exit wound either.

The no reaction are the worse. Especially during muzzleloader when you have to take your eyes off the deer for a reload. I shot 2 spikes one year with muzzleloader. I shot one and the other just froze and went back to eating giving me time to reload.
