TX it sound like you have been in a few street fights with deer, I prefer to take them at about 15yds and avoid all that ruff stuf.
Yeah but I never picked them.
Back in college the school and grad. students would do research on whitetail deer. We would go out using helicopters to catch bucks and some does on private ranches through out south Texas. I think we caught around 2,000 bucks and 250-500 does during the time that I attended school there (5 years). Needless to say I got my share of kicks. I might not have gotten a whole lot out of college, but my reflexes got alot better LOL
