[QUOTE="Wolverine72, post: 5759347, member: 16554"] Don't let anyone fool you. Boresightong gets you on paper. I missed 2 deer my first year muzzleloading cause the guy who boresighted told me I was "good to go". He must of assumed I knew he meant good to go to the range. One of the deer was an awesome buck I missed from 30 yards off the ground i got lucky and called in with a grunt call. The other was a doe from the ground at 40 yards. Those were in 2008. I remember like yesterday. Funny thing happened. I sighted it in and boom... shot 5 deer that season. 2009. A good hunting buddy asked me if I sighted in the mzl. I looked at him funny told him no, the guy who boresighted it told me I was "good to go". Then he looked at me and smiled... I was such a novice I had no idea. It was my first gun with a sight. I was not using the common sense God gave me. Agree with the others... understand and play the wind. Sometimes deer come from where you least expect, and you gotta know where your scent is going. I too clean my stuff to be as scent free as possible, but its impossible to be 100% scent free. Shoot what makes you happy. If you always wait for the stud deer to show up you may give in altogether. I've shot my share of spikes and forkies and I remember being so jacked up excited I could not control my emotions. That kept me wanting more. Today, I'm more selective but I still get the shakes when a "small" buck walk under me in range. I have fun taking pics and videos. Have a blast and always remember to follow 10 commandments of gun safety. Always wear a safety harness in a tree [/QUOTE]
