Back out for my last sit after an application of dressing on a deer hide I’m egg tanning and wrapping up a couple skulls (@treeguy come and get it after sunset...turned out great!)
Good luck!!

Beetles? Looks like you even kept the inner nose bones intact. That's a hard thing to do

Anyone unload their mz with a rod instead of a shot to avoid cleaning?

I have done it that way and enjoy shooting and cleaning too.  
If I don’t fire a shot was gonna do it that way w a light swab and good scrubbing.  

though I would prefer to smell of gunpowder tonight perhaps though I am just enjoying the last peace of the season

Went of for last time  2020 . 3 feet of snow on the end of my drive . Muck boots rain gear light weight hunting pants and shirt. 2 feet of snow most places  . Got to my first blind collapsed from snow . Cleaned off snow and all brush  packed it in bag left it in the trail . 600 yds  up hill alot more tracks .  Second blind collapsed.  Cleaned it off and bagged it  picked up trail cam . Now I have chair, camera, and blind ... muzzleloader.  Still hunt to next spot . Pack up last blind and pick up camera . Now i have 2 chairs, 2 blinds ,2 cameras . Start circle back to pick up first  blind  and chair . Decide to  cut through big pines. Still hunting ... really slow with all this gear and 2 feet of snow . Stop as I exit  the thickest part of the pines  to catch my breath. Look next to a fallen pine tree and there  is a deer bedded. Kneel down unload all my blinds and chairs.  Bring up rifle...  yup its a doe... I squeak and its ears move .. stands up and I see  it's a yearling  doe . Gets a pass. Down the hill I get to my first set of tracks and deer have walked inside my trail.   Pick up 3rd blind and chair down the hill I go .  Just as I reach the big food plot i hear turkeys clucking . Up the hill comes a huge flock of turkeys  .  Kind of funny to watch . 2 steps  they break through the snow . All the way acrossed the plot.  Watched as the went up into the pines i just left.  Crossed the food plot and decided to shoot the load out of my muzzleloader.  Have a stump  I use every year so I center drilled it . Load had been in the gun for 2 weeks ..  back to the truck . So ended my 2020 season . Probably the worst season of my life . Looking forward  to next year .

I was a little bummed when I saw it! But grateful nonetheless.
