im sharing this for randy turk and his hankins conversion. Fellow muzzleloader guy from Wyoming great story and year cva apex,100gr by weight bl209,270 emax, 160yd shot ,uphill center lung,went maby 15yds tipped over.spotted him in the morning couldn't make up my mind if he was big enough watched the three bulls go into the timber to bed for day,had some deer hunters that saw him to they all said they would shoot him in a heart beat. .. long story short walked up mountain ,was in position at 3.00pm snowed for 1 1/2 hours then cleared up,,saw a bull below me turned out a 300 or so 6 point.waiteing for the one I shot till sundown and they didn't come out so I walked up to the top incase they came out there,and walked right into them..could see the other two bulls but not the one I got.had just a small window to shoot through. the bulls got nervose and one by one were leaving,had my cow call out to stop him if he got into clearing,tryed blowing cow call it was frozen luckily the bull stoped perfectly in clearing got gun on shooting stick new I didn't have time to study him in binos,now or never I chose now. was a little bumed when I got to him but hes still a nice bull,wifes happy as hers is a little bigger.took 45 minutes to walk down mountain in dark to truck where the day before watched a big grizzle walk up canyon.next day brought two kids that said according to there smart phone was a 5 mile round trip pack out.
