Well, i was hunting with my uncle, my cousin, & my brother. We just got done hunting our stand about 11 am. It was a bad day. Snow was flying hard, wind was blowing, guys all over our spot. So we drove to my uncle's cousin's spot. he has a nice stand by posted field, which we have permission to be on, & woods behind him. he got his early & left.

We drove around & ate lunch & got warm. We pulled up & stopped. As we all got out of the truck & loaded our guns, a doe bounds across a cut down bean field. she runs 5yrds from us across the road. We were surprised. She ran into the woods about 40 yards & stopped. at this point i am sitting in the ditch before the woods begins wettin my pants at how close this doe came. I put my clip in & popped the sight caps up. I couldnt find her in the scope. WAIT i found her. BOOM. I am such a bad free hand shooter. I missed her & she ran. We are walking the field line as my uncle looks for blood from her. we walk down & go under a fallen branch held on by the tree. THERE SHE WAS! She was standing there. unphased! My brother,13, pulled his .243 up to his shoulder & fired. She dropped. Right to the ground. We told my uncle to stop. we sat in the woods about a half hour & my brother on his 1st year of hunting bagged a nice doe.
