Ill keep it short. I just left from speaking to my neighbor Zack. He's an older gentleman in his 70's and well respected in the area. I stopped to talk to him about nothing. He told me he went hunting this morning with his muzzle loader and he figured it would be sighted in still since it hadn't been banged around. Said he shot at a medium bodied 8 pointer.....good looking buck. Took the shot, after the smoke clears no buck 'NO BLOOD THANK GOD". He put a target on an old plastic 500 gallon container of sorts and at 65 yards did not hit the container. Ill be honest as much as wanted to say something I just chuckled and went along with the story. I did ask if he thinks he had a hit he said he didn't see any blood. I didn't say anything due to him being many years my Senior and I think he understands...or maybe not since he still did this after more than a half century of hunting.
I know these stories get people blood boiling but maybe someone will read this and remember to be ethical.
