Default RE: Whats your fastest hunt?

About 5 minutes. I took my college room-mate along, b/c he had never been hunting, fired a gun or even knewanyone thathunted before. So, I save a doe tag for the rifle opener, and away we went.

I didn't want him to really know what a psycho I was, so we left at 6:00 (as opposed to the usual 4 am), and bumbled into the woods as it's getting light.

I got to a little ledge and told him to scoot up where he could see, and we heard something coming. Here comes a whole herd of deer, crossing 25 yards away. So, I pull up the gun and wallop one. He hooted and laughed, and after a brief photo shoot, we were dragging back to the car 10 minutes later.

It was fortunate, too, b/c he was the "fidgety" type, and wouldn't have had much patience to sit there for long. On the way out, I let him fire the deer rifle at a stump, and boy did that scare him. He complained about having a dislocated shoulder and being deaf for the next week.
