RE: Caught up in the Kill.
I glassed and didn't see buttons, and I elected to shoot.
I say the following ONLY as a suggestion to thers....and a question to you.
Was the deer alone? From what I've read and experienced, first hand....I think most times we see BB's traveling alone. EVERY time I see a lone deer.....I give it special attention in the binos. If I'm not 100% sure....I let it walk.
Things could be worse, my friend. You made a clean, perfectly ehtical kill. You can be proud of that.

Thanks for the congrats guys, and for sure a lesson learned. I hope it sticks with me, always. The meat will taste good, no way around that, already cooked the tenderloins
Now...I got bucks (with real antlers)on the mind

It's just too bad you have to turn a score of a 1/4" in for your team since we have to count first bucks around here...
