[QUOTE="Tim Behle, post: 1731, member: 523"] A few years ago, I was working for a neighbor on his hog farm on the last day of season. I had two doe tags left in my pocket, and I thought I'd have an hour left to hunt when I got done. The hogs didn't cooperate, and I walked out with only about 20 minutes of shooting light left. Just as I got to the trunk thinking I needed to throw away the tags, I looked over into the Alfalfa field to the West. There stood 7 does feeding. I picked up the Contender with the scoped .44 ( you can't shoot Rifles for deer in Indiana ) walked to the nearest fence post for a rest and Dropped the biggest one at 175 yards. Several of the deer scurried about, none went very far. Two of the biggest ones just stood there. Looking at their fallen sister, then over towards me. They seemed confused, but were unconcerned with me at that distance because they knew I had nothing to do with it. They walked up to the fallen doe, sniffing her and looking back towards me. I filled my second tag not five feet from the first. The other doe stood close by the first two until I drove out to load them.
