Had a great weekend hunt with my son. He didn't have a tag so came along, spotted, helped strategize and generally just make the weekend better. Was glad he was right by my side when we were on our stalk. Saw this buck bed down and stalked to within what we thought was range. Hard to say on the wide open plains. Kept poking along and he blew out at 20 yards from us. Paused at 40 and that got him killed. Was a good day for stalking with high steady winds. Good load of prime mule deer in the freezer and more tags to go.


Lloyd is my 58 caliber Hawken. Always a pleasure with Lloyd along.


Tailgate pic showing rack better.

Nice one!!!!! Congrats! That ol’ Hawken is a keeper!!!

Owe you big time for helping me locate that rifle KW. It's getting used a lot.

Very well done! Per KW, that .58 Hawken is a fine looking rifle. And, the having your son by your side makes the whole thing extra, extra special

Very nice, congrats! And with a proper muzzleloader too.

Congrats! Round ball?

Beautiful buck taken with a beautiful rifle on a stalk…doesn’t get much better. Congrats.

Thanks all. Rifle is regulated to hit just a touch high at 100 yards with 105 grains of Swiss ffg, felt wad, .015 patch, .570 ball.

Yep. That’s a Beauty!!!

Great that you killed your buck with a Traditional Muzzleloader.
I hate those “Modern” “Muzzleloaders”

Congrats on that buck buddy! Dang, the rifle and buck together look great.

Best part is getting to stalk with your son. That’s damned cool!

Beautiful buck, and rifle, congrats!
