Well here is what happened...
Roughly 2:30 p.m. - I was walking up the drive to where I hunt and once I got up there I was walking across the field (open area about the size of a football field, just dirt) and my stand is right along the tree line about 3/4 the way back on the left. Well I get about 1/3 of the way back and I jump 4 does that were on the other side of a brush pile just 20 yards away from me. I thought "oh crap, there went my chances" But I went ahead and jumped in my stand anyways being they didn't blow at me, just ran off. So I get in the stand and all situated by about 2:45 or so and I am watching for a while and turn 'the lil can' a few times. So, I am sitting there watching the squirrels and hear something running right towards me from the left. Now it is about 3:33p.m. So I get the gun up and am ready for when it pops out, turns out to be a small doe. Well she is on a mission and I figure since she is a little smaller than I would like I will let her go. A few seconds later a hear more tromping coming from the direction the other came from. So now I am watching the smaller doe across the field to my right and turning back to look for the other to come out and so on. Well I look back at the smaller doe and the right side of her face was all bloody around her mouth, nose and about 3-4 inches back. I thought oh crap, someone shot at her and was way off and hit her in the face. So I didn't know whether to take her down or wait for the other. I figured if she was shot in the face like that she wouldn't be able to eat and drink and would suffer to death so I went aheadturned the can once more since she was facingaway from me and about to go down a hillside, she turned aroundandI took the shot. This is at 3:35 p.m. I got her at about 50 yards with the Savage .270. I know she isn't the biggest one out there but she is a trophy to me! She is the first deer I have shot since about this time in 2002 and is the first time to take anything down with my new Savage! Sorry, I don't have any pics. I went back to the house and had my fiance come to take a pic of me and the deer and the darn batteries went dead right before she took the pic. Now I am ready to get back out there tomorrow, and get some batteries ahead of time!
