Default Great opening day!

Opening day came with warm temperatures and heavy fog. Tyler ( my 10 yr old son ) and I sat in a box blind from 5:30 am until 11:00 am. We left the stand and headed for the club house. We rounded a curve in the dirt road, and there stood a doe in the middle of the road but she was a long way off. I checked her with the rangefinder and she was at 180 yards. I gave it some thought and decided to give her a try. With a good rest, I took my time and settled the cross hairs level with the top of her back and down her front leg and slowly squeezed the trigger. At the crack of the shot, I saw her jump straight up into the air and run out of the road. When we got to where she was standing, we found a huge area of blood spray. Tyler eased up to the ditch bank with his CVA Wolf, and looked back at me with a huge grin on his face. I looked into the canal and there she was floating in it. We got her out and onto the tailgate. The shot was perfect. Right beind the front shoulder. Just to be sure of the distance, we checked again and the shot was 180 yards. Upon cleaning her, her insides were like jello. Just a huge pile if matter. It appeared that the bullet had hit just above the heart and made a complete pass through. I'd say that my accuracy problems have been solved. Would someone please tell me how to post photos, ( step by step including resizing them ).

Thanks for all the help again.
