Well... this has been a good year so far for myself and hunting partner(also my cousin) On the opening weekend of early bow up here in the northern zone, I shot a doe with my bow after only 2 minutes on watch.... WHAT A START!! ;D Then this past Sunday after moving a few tree stands, we were doing some scouting along a swamp edge. My cousin went up the side of a ridge and was scouting some deer sign when he noticed a flicker ahead of him when he pulled up his gun thinking it was a deer and realized it was a black bear walking RIGHT at him. The bear walked at him up to 45 yards a way and then turned and offered a shot. One Shot one kill, 20 yards later he had a small bear on the ground. About 120 lbs, or so. That's a good start.... meat in the freezer, now I can really work on my trapping!! I will get pics on probably monday or so... WOW a BEAR with blackpowder!! ;D

Yes deer season was in right then... You can hunt deer and bear with muzzle loader in Oct. for one week. All he seen was a movement up ahead of him, he was looking up hill and when the bear came out of some thicker forest he gat a good look at it and realized what it was. Our muzzleloading season opened on oct.14 and closed on the 20.
