Hunting with the Savage 10ML ii

Our annual Ontario controlled blackpowder week ended yesterday with the last of 7 tags filled. We ended up with 5 bucks & 2 doe's. It was a really great week for all of us with good times & great weather for a change. A few swings & misses but that is to be expected with the smoke poles. I got lucky again this season & took 3 bucks for the 5 day hunt (6 point / 7 point & a nice mature 8 point). Here is a pic of the 8 point I took hunting on the ground sitting in the woods against a tree becasue it was way too windy to be in my tree stand. 30 yard shot with my Savage 10ML ii o yard recovery.

Neat colouration on the face. Heavy body buck eh!

Sounds like you guys had a great hunt! Congrats!

looks like a nice great big deer
Congrats on an outstanding week

Just 3 bucks? Lol jk, what a week congrats. So would you say the savage is a big upgrade over the omega you had?

Many advantages to using a Savage smokeless gun.
No cloud of smoke when you shoot.
No swabbing between shots.
You use less powder per shot. I used 44gr.
Accutrigger adjustable to just over 1lb pull.
Amazing accuracy!!

it is a bit heavier than the Omega however the extra weight is well worth it.....

Incredible! Congratulations!
I see the buck was catched on the corn field.

However , he knows that he has he best when the opportunity comes for a very long shot, he doesn't have to worry and wonder if it will do the job.

I guess, but if he has my luck, I haven't had one farther than 75 yrds in the past 10 yrs :)
