Boy, they were moving this a.m; felt more like late Dec than Nov!!

Only hunted archery for a week and half this year;finished it out yesterday by bumping deer all day long but no shots.

Woke up at 4:15 ready to go, grabbed my boyhood 20 ga and a few slugs on a whim and headed out up the hill.

By 7:00 I'd heard a dozen shots or so and my feet were freezing. Naturally, that's when the deer started passing by, so I sat tight.

After 45 min or so, and having 2 doe and a small buck pass within 10 feet of me, I finally couldn't contain myself when #4 came along. A medium sized spike, he was headed right for me and would had to have stepped over my legs to get by when I pulled the trigger-heart shot.
Still, he ran 50 yds before going down.

Field dressed him, came down to the house to drop off some gear, post this & now I'm back to drag him down.

He'll be tasty!
