I took him with the encore muzzleloader at about 25 yards. It had just snowed so I was hunting on the ground in snow camo, I saw him coming, and I was in the crown of a downed tree so I crouched down and walked up along the trunk of the tree, popped up over the root ball, rested my gun on the root ball, stopped him and let him have one in the neck, it all happened pretty fast. My brother helped me get him out, with the snow and all it was a memorable hunt. I wish I had more time to get better pictures but it just didn't work out so I took some right before I skinned him out last night.
