Love me a big frame 3 point!

Thank you! This area has a few of them. Fun hunt. He was starting to rut and I video'd him "escorting" a smaller 4x3 away a couple of times.

Yea, wild. It’s like the rack went straight out. He’s at the taxidermist haha. Not cause he’s huge but bc it’s odd. 22” wide. Been watching him for 2 years

You’re telling me. You should see the trail cam vids I have of him. I’d post em but I can’t post vids

Both were shot with my NULA 50 cal Muzzleloader and a 250 gr. Barnes T-EZ bullet here in Georgia. The 6 pointer is from 2024 and the 17 pointer is from 2025.

Borrowed a knight ultralight on a diy hunt. Amazing experience spot a stalk on a 6x7. Great gun sad to see it was discontinued. Guess I’ll have to find a used one

My first ever elk and first animal with a muzzle loader.
Spent a mind numbing number of hours working up a load, setting up the sights, and establishing an effective max range over the summer. Settled on a 325gr Fury universal over 120grV T7 FF
56 yards, a little back and a little high but quartered away. He went sub-10 yards. I was convinced he would get back up while I was frantically dumping half my speed loader on the ground, but he was dead as a dornail.
