[QUOTE="ShootMo, post: 1845388, member: 112441"] I have only one story that really fits here. It was a rainy, cold morning as I sat in a stand hunting whitetails. Two does broke out of the woods in front of me and bee-lined my stand. I swung on the lead doe as she got closer. Finally at about 40 yards out, I touched off the shot. She dropped dead without so much as a kick. When I got to her I first started checking for the entrance wound to verify where my hit was. I couldn't find a hole. Finally I rolled her over and realized my lead was a bit much. A perfect headshot. At my angle, that calculated to about 6 inches too much lead. Dead either way. But too much lead nonetheless. And before everybody decides to bash me for shooting at a running deer, that's how you saw them in the highly pressured place we were hunting. They were almost always bumped by other hunters and were running. Besides, I was 15 then. So try to cut a youngster some slack on this one, please. [/QUOTE]
