Got my first deer tonight. She's just a small doe, but to me shes a prize. I'm very proud of her. Anyways, I went out with a friend on some of his land.He had mesitting in a hedge row so I could see a green wheat field and then on the other side of the hedge row I could see an alfalfa field which are both right alongside a river bed. It was about 45 minutes until sundown so it was getting kind of late. I had expected to see deer in the alfalfa field on the other side of the hedge, but I never did. I was looking in the alfalfa field for deer, then turned to look at the green wheat field. All the sudden the deer caught my eye and whoa, my heart startedthumping fast. I was shooting a 30-30 with open sights. I got situated to take a shot, brought my gun up, and fired. It seemed like the echo of the shot carried on forever, but the doe didn't even move. She kind of casually looked up to see what was going on, then turned and started walking right toward me. I got resituated to take a better shot and waited for her to go broadside again. I brought the gun up again and BOOOOM! She dropped like a sack of potatoes. I hit her right in the nose! I guess it doesn't matter much since she's dead now. What a fun and exciting hunt!
