Thanksgiving day many years ago.... I was too tired and full from the feast to climb my treestand so I leaned up against this tree. I heard something bounding, then seen this doe on a collision course with me and my tree. At about 10ft I leaned forward and brought my shotgun up. She veered to my left and passed at under 10ft. I had a scope on, so I had to shoot by looking down the barrel. I was falling towards my left shoulder as I shot and the deer just piled up and stopped about 10 yards from me.

Seems that my inertia from falling to my left caused me to lead the deer and since she had her head down the slug went right through the eye socket. What a surreal moment. Looking back, I am not even sure why I shot as I don' t shoot at running dear...hence the reason I use a scope. ??

Had another one at about 15 ft on ground last weekend.
