You are absolutely right on both points. I felt awful taking the shot the way I did and it is only luck and the lord that allowed me to have such a clean quick kill (that femoral artery sure does bleed them out quick).

Yeah, the light up a smoke trick always works. I knew the wind was in my face and gusting so there was no way she would wind me. To be honest I was so uppset with her for keeping me standing at the ready for so long I needed a smoke to calm down.
Thank you for the kind words folks.
Hunting is like life. You plan and practice thinking everything is just right and suddenly the wind shifts directions and it's all over.
