RE: Got my first deer of the year last night, unfortunately
There's a lot of 'em being hit by cars around here the last couple weeks . . . and it's only going to get worse with the rut and more hunters in the woods moving them. I'm glad you put him out of his misery. My wife just saw one get hit two nights ago --it was still alive when she went by, but some people were already stopped.
I found it amusing ( and awesome) that SHE had a .22 in her car and YOU just happened to have the shells that fit it!
That's AWESOME!
