Beagle a deer?
This morning was extremely crisp. 20F and no wind. Could hear everything. I am on my way out of the woods. And see this flicker of a white tail. I point my 460Smith pistol in that direction and have my scope on it. I am so zoned in, my back hurts from the excitement. I see this tail flicker some more, and waiting right until it pass's a tree, and see its head in the brush. I am thinking, should I let the round go?Nope, get a clear shot. It jumps out immediately, and I am about 1/4 second away from letting loose the cannon, and I see its my neighbor's beagle.
I could have sworn it was a small doe. sometimes we get so excited, and wrapped up in the moment, I think our mind see's what it wants to see. I would have felt horrible if Ishot it.

RE: Beagle a deer?
Agreed - 100% confirmation of target and beyond.
Not everyone hunts, so you never know when some random person may show up riding a horse, walking around in a white coat, walking dogs, ect on the land you hunt on without wearing orange.
( I've seen all 3 personally.... )
