Finally got it done in late muzzleloader season...

Shot this buck last Saturday night, Dec. 23rd. Latest I've ever killed a buck in Indiana in almost 40 years of hunting. He came in to one of my standing beans food plots about a half hour before dark. Shot him at 60 yards with my .50 cal Thompson Center Pro Hunter. He didn't make it out of the plot. It was the 45th time I had climbed into a tree or blind. I had 128 hours of actual legal hunting time in to that point. Persistence paid off. Thank you, Lord!...

Cool!

Wow congrats on getting 'er done. That's a great looking buck. Amazing no points are broke off on his rack this late. Persistence pays!

Congratulations Putnam, way to go!
Persistence and being at the right place at the right time
