Today was the muzzle loader season opener here in Indiana. I did not hunt this morning, but got out there this evening. About 10 min of legal shooting light left a 150-160 class 10 point buck came into the field I was hunting on. My SMI muzzle dropped him at a little over 200 yards but he got back up and ran off. I spent a little over an hour out there with flashlights trying to find him but I never even found a blood trail. Gonna head back out in the AM, and hunt the same stand for an hour or so then start looking for the big boy. If I am lucky he will be easy to find. I knew better than to take a chest shot in low light like that. Should have either shot him in te neck, or let him go without squezing the trigger. I'm soooooooooo pissed off at myself rite now.
