I got lucky November 24, 2006 (after over 100 hours in the stand) and shot a buck. He provided a 20 yard broadside shot and the archery gods were smiling as my arrow sliced through his heart. I had posted my Iowa early muzzleloader buck in the muzzleloader success forum early this year. Now, it's back out with the Savage ML10II for Iowa's shotgun season this weekend. Hopefully, I'll get another crack at the big boy I jumped during early muzzle when all I had in my pockets were doe tags.
