We shot these bucks last weekend in the Iowa Early Muzzleloader season. They aren't huge bucks but since we usually shoot does we were pretty happy to get them. Birdkiller shot the big 6 pt. with a .50 blue ML II with a thumnhole stock. It was a 178 yd. shot. He was shooting a duplex 10/57 n110/H4198 pushing a 325 gr. FTX with an orange MMP sabot about 2420 fps. The shot was just far enough back to hit the lungs and liver. The buck only took a few steps and went down. I shot the 10 pt. at 197 yds. with a Rem. Pacnor .45. I was shooting a duplex of 10/52,IMR4759/H4198 and a 195 gr. Barnes with a smooth blue sabot at about 2650 fps. This shot also hit a little farther back than you would like but it got lungs and a little paunch. The buck ran about 60 yds toward me and collapsed. We both shoot out of turkey lounger chairs and use shooting sticks. We also shot 4 does to help fill the freezers. All were shot on public hunting ground.

That was what I would call a great hunt. A buck and two does apiece. On public land. Sweet.
