Had a 3x9x40 scope and I could see the deer good, I could see it's eyes and most features. I couldn't tell by looking if it had button's or small spikes. With it being so young I couldn't use the long face as a tell tell, and with the background the shape of the head was distorted. Yesterday I had a deer come out on the same stand but on the other lane, I got a good look at her, it was well after daylight and she was about 130 pounds (a mature doe in louisiana). She had a long nose, and her head was round between her ears. i took the time to look at the deer and make sure that it was a doe before deciding to pull the trigger.

I didn't take the shot this morning because with my experiance if a deer walks out by it's self most of the time it is a small buck. I would rather not shoot and it be a doe than to make the shot and it be a small buck. I am trying to lead by example in my club and we are slowly but surely getting people to follow our lead.

He can't get any bigger if you shoot him.

Thanks for all that voted
