I shot this buck with a 50 cal. CVA muzzleloader, at 30 yards. It was the first snow storm of the season, very windy, at times I couldn't even see the ground. With 10 minutes left of the hunt he walked out by himself, and BANG!!! I had no blood trail till I got 5 yards from him, good thing for the snow, I tracked him for almost 200 yards before he fell. Shot was through the front shoulder hit the heart and lungs but stopped at the hide on the other side.
