Default First for the season

Got out after work today and I to the woods by 1300. New area again due to base only having 4 areas open in total. So decided to hit a bottom from the looks of Google maps. After sitting in my spot a good 45 minutes was getting up to start moving further in when I turned to grab my shotgun see a doe walking through about 40 yards.

Picked the gun up slowly and the deer stopped but we had enough saplings between it didn't spot me. Started moving again so raised the gun and the deer stops right before the opening just behind some trees. Sat like this for a few minutes started to shake holding the gun up for so long and finally the deer took the next step. Took a steadying breath and squeezed the trigger and bam scope right into the forehead, but deer was spazzing on the ground. Surprise the deer gets up after a couple seconds and starts walking back the way it came. Gave it a few minutes and checking my forehead (no blood) I walked to where I shot the deer. Look over and deer didn't even go 15 yards and expire.

Got to the "doe" and she just happened to grow balls and two spikes not even 1" tall. Not what I wanted but glad I got it none the less. Mosquitoes where freaking horrid today, like swarming f-18's. Good day in the woods but not fully excited I let my form go on my shot even though it was still a double lung shot.
