I saw this deer 11/13/19 in the evening for the first time. We did a stare off that seemed to last forever. He got a little spooked and trotted back the way he came. I could still see him and he started heading back my way so this time I got ready. I was at full draw and he was moving quickly. He Got with in range and had to take a few more steps but he felt something wasn’t right and turned around and trotted off. Not to be seen again that night.

Fast forward to 11/15/19 it was about 8am and I looked to my right and he’s standing about 30 yards. Never heard him or seen him it was like he just appeared. Just as I see him he looks up at me. I thought it was over but I stayed still. He then continued to walk forward so I got ready. When he was directly in front of my I pulled the trigger on the CVA 50 cal muzzle loader. He ran about 75 yard and the rest is in the photo.
