No! Smart******** Shot was very very close too; had already killed one deer right there, and was able to reload, and shoot again. Recoil felt funny at the shot; way more recoil than normal. Obviously excitement overcame me. Had been hunting for a month with no chance at deer, and then of a sudden them deer stumbled right into me. I saw them coming and hunkered. Wind was exactly wrong, and i watched them wind me over and over through the binocular, but they just kept coming except one of them turned tail; didn't like my smell. I was quite excited, and really really wanted 2 deer in the freezer.

After killing the one, i should have calmed down, but didn't. I didn't fast nor did i do a sweat prior to the hunt. Surprised me them deer smelled me and kept coming. We eat deer just about every day; i figured they would all turn tail not liking my smell, and leave me sad, but they got closer and closer, and i got nervouser and nervouser. Didn't get sad until i went to reload again, and couldn't for the life of me find the ram rod.

Searched for the ram rod for a week; never found it. Had a good look at the deer; the ram rod didn't appear to be stuck in it. At least i got one of them, and only ruined one rifle.
