2024 coues muzzy hunt
Tropicalmulch replied to Tropicalmulch's topic in Muzzleloader hunting for Coues Deer
120 yards. Was shooting a knight t bolt. I took my traditional hawken for the first part of the hunt but last day took the t bolt for a little extra range -
Well my uncle and I drew muzzy tags and neither of us had high expectations, but I was able to kill on the last morning of the hunt. We drew in a unit we know pretty well, so we were optimistic that at least one of us would bring home some tamale meat. Overall was a fun hunt but a few challenges and wrenches came up up of course. We’d find bucks way out there and try to come up with a plan, just in time to watch them decide to move out into the unknown. We hunted bucks we knew we’re in an area just to bust em out. Had a family emergency that pulled me off the mountain for a day plus. Last day everything worked out and I got a shot at this guy and now we have our tamales! A much better buck than I was expecting or hoping for. I hope the pics turn out with this post and not sideways.

I like the job that beetles do. Bone stays strong -
Awesome! Congratulations!

If headspace hasn’t been checked, you’ll definitely want to do that before firing. But if the round goes deeper into the chamber without the bolt, maybe the extractor is a little tight on the rim and the round is binding at an angle? Will it go if you remove the extractor?
-
A headspace gage. Have you fired this rifle before or is it a new build?
-
It should look like this. Sometimes the shroud gets turned a little and the firing pin spring pushes the cocking piece into that little v kinda shape in the back of the bolt housing
-
Is the cocking piece on back of the bolt in the correct position?

My wife’s says 36c but mine says pending. So I dunno

Coon tail makes it not Mojave to me. Big snake though
