My first deer I ever shot was a 1 1/2 year old doe. I was sitting by an old tree stump and I heard something walking towards me. I slowly turned and saw it was a doe. This may sound crazy but here is what happened. I knew i couldn't move slow, so I jumped up as fast as I could turned and pointed my 12 guage at her and shot from the hip. She was only like 5 feet from me. I hit her right in the neck and dropprd her on the spot. It was awesome. Most peoople just laugh when I tell that story but it is the truth.
