I knew what was beyond the target and I saw my target. Maybe I described it wrong. I meant that basically it was not a clear crisp view. I could see the target but no I could not have counted each hair or point on its rack. Sorry for not explaining better Mr. policeman.

I eased out of my truck and racked a shell in my gun and propped up to take a shot. That's when it went bad. As I look through the scope it's nothing but fog, water drops, and blur. I found what looked like the buck in my crosshairs and took a chance. I found no blood and no deer but I can't be too mad because that was pure luck.
Thats usually how it happens...I had my scope fog up in the rain one day n missef because of it now I always keep my cover on durin rain...did it look to be good size?...I left this evnin after dark n nothin had been checked out 471 all day

I am no policeman. I am, however, a responsible hunter who has been pursuing game for likely longer than you have been alive. From your description, your actions were dangerous and ill-conceived.
