Killed a yote with my bow yesterday, and saw some hogs no deer.
In the words of Hoyt, "not too good".... Went something like this...
Loaded the rifle and went to the stand Sat morning, saw two deer, both behind me and I couldn't get a shot. Went back to the stand Sat afternoon and took my limb trimmer with me and cut a few limbs. About 4:30, I had a doe walk under the stand, and I settled in on her and pulled the trigger. Plink, no bang!!! Primer went off, powder didn't ignite. WTH?? So with the doe 30 yrds out, I pull the ram rod check that the load is seated (again) and put in another primer in time to see her walk out of sight. NOW, I AM LOOKING FOR ANYTHING TO SHOOT! After 15 minutes or so, I hear a sound behind me and look to see a limb (bush) shaking like heck. I get ready and out walks the biggest fattest armadillo I have ever seen. I let him close in to about 35 yds and touch off the old CVA. So, I have my first confirmed kill with the smokepole... Not too appetizing tho'!!
After that, I was so disgusted I just got out of the stand and went home.

How were the diller nads?
the diller looked like a bloody can of spam... I didn't attempt to harvest the nads...
I saw a small buck but it was while I had my gun leaned up against a tree, my pants down and in a hunkered down position....I would have passed him anyways...just kind embarassing having him watch me go potty.
HA! someone tell me why I have not taken up BP. It sounds like a hoot.
