I got mine 5 years ago during gun season. I was on 80 acres of public land and decided to try still hunting because I had no deer come anywhere near my stand for 3 days. About 5 mins before shooting light was gone, I heard a deer moving to my left through some thick brush. I figured he was headed towards the trail I was still hunting. Sure enough, he was and he popped out 10 yds in front of me. He ended up being a she but I could've cared less because I had tags for both. I sent a rifled 20 gauge slug through her lungs and she dropped in her tracks. I carried that deer back 3/4 of a mile to my van and got her back to my house and walked in. I forgot completely that I was covered in blood from carrying the doe fireman style through the woods. My wife thought I had hurt myself and I had to calm her down while trying to tell the story of my first deer. What a night!
