Ok,....I head out this morning intent on bringing a doe home fer the freezer. It was very quiet, zero shooting going on around me. About 10:00 I decide to call it quits and head for the truck.
I pull the primer out of the mzldr and put the gun in the truck. I'm taking off the top layers when I decide I'd better take care of a bit of personal binnes before I hit the road.
I look up and about 60-75 yds away is a doe with her eye on me. Of course stopping was out of the question, so when practical, I move back around to the open door, stick another primer in and release the safety.
She is standing quartered toward me with a tree blocking her mid section from the shoulder back and the best shot without moving several feet was a neck shot.
Boom! She hit hard, but then bounces up and bolts. I could see the blood spray from where I was. I settle in for 10 minutes or so to give her some time. I walked up to the shot spot, there was blood everywhere, with a heavy blood trail leading off down hill. I kept finding big blood and stumble marks, but no deer. In about 200 yds I came to a fence bordering a neighboring farm. Through the fence I go because absolutely had to be in the brush just ahead,.....not exactly,....I did find her, another 200 yds beyond the fence in a spot of border woods.
I went back to the truck, drove to the landowners home and got permission to retrieve my deer. I hit her in the base of the neck, exiting through the right lung leaving a 1 1/2 " exit wound.
Man! If ya don't get both lungs, they'll sure make you work for 'em!:banghead:
