Well it was just last year. I am 28 and just started hunting. My dad was never the big outdoors type.

Anyway I took a week off during Jan (rut peak in AL) the last day we went in about 0400. I sat on the ground facing a pine thicket until about 0900. My buddy sat about 400-500 yrds off to my right. Well I got bored and walked over and we stood there talking and just hanging out. Well all the sudden he gets the crazy look on his face. " Dude don't move." Why? "There is a deer behind you." Now my buddy is a joker but sure enough about 100 yrds down the feild stood a doe working her way around a big pine tree. Well I had to sit there for what seemed like forever waiting on her to come aorund the other side of the tree. Finally she did but looked up directly at me. I aimed at her head and squeezed. A miss! She didn't move....my buddy was scream whispering "shoot her again, shoot her again!!" LOL She took two steps to her right and I shot her right behind her shoulder. She fell two yards away. Awesome!! Can't wait for my first buck.
