Learned something this last weekend. Got a shot at a nice buck in the last hour of light as the sky darkened with storm clouds.
Had specifically picked the rifle so I could spot hits being all alone and knowing itd be storming and so much harder to track and blood trail.
Lined up my crosshairs on him at 400 and touched it off. And looked like a muzzeloader went off. I had not figured that in.
I was dialed in to 16x for ID as there were a handful of deer, a few were bucks but shoulda dialed back out to 8x which is where i normall shoot as i can see soo much more.
