Our modern gun season opens this Saturday here in the piedmont of North Carolina. I have been looking forward to this for months.

I have been blessed so far this deer season having taken a doe with my crossbow and a buck and doe with my CVA muzzle loading pistol. I have one more hunt scheduled for Friday morning with my CVA and then I will be trying to bloody my Ruger Blackhawk with a Ultradot 25 mounted on it.

At some stands I may take both guns because I feel better shooting over fifty yards with the CVA but I really want to take a deer with the Blackhawk.

I have taken mature bucks with bow, muzzleloader and rifle but only small bucks and does with my handguns. On my bucket list is to take a mature buck with one of my handguns before I retire from this earth. Maybe this will be the year. I hope everyone has a great season.
