Another one bite the dust

I was hunting on the creek bed today. Did not see anything so I took off a few min before 10 as the walk to the car is just a few min. As soon as I put my gun away in the passenger side (we lease the property at both side of road for like a 1/4 mile) to head to the club house and I closed the door I saw this doe pop out of the shoulder. She was probably trying to figure it out what was making all that racket... I thought: "I bet by the time I get my gun it will be gone", I was wrong, the doe was wrong :D so I loaded and shoot it in the neck. Not a single step as usual. I used to always have time to crank the magnification and shoot, loosing view of the target but I am starting to dig shotting with the magnification at the minimum. I can see everythign, the mist and hair explosion and the deer droping. What a rush...



This one is going to my friend that has not been able to hunt this year, I got one more tag but I am holding unless I see a big doe or someone ask me for a complete deer. Otherwise I am just hunting for bucks. Will be at the creek bottom tomorrow, probably will stay a bit past 10...

PS - This doe as well as the first 2 anterless deer was taken usign the hunting loads developed with the help of this forum. Thanks!

Congratulations on the nice doe and I'm heading out Monday morning to southern Arkansas for the last three days of our rifle season and I have two doe tages left and a buck tag..
