Hey y'all!
What's the hive mind think of this scenario? Never encountered it before. Plunging shot with a muzzleloader, short range, felt good. Knocked the deer down where it stood, it thrashed around in a circle for a bit, then laid still. What felt like five minutes later (though buck fever messes with time) it suddenly got up and bolted (maybe winded me). No blood at the shot site. and I backed out at that point.
Appreciate it!
