shortest shot on a deer

[VirginiaHunter]

My shortest was about 5 feet.

I was black powder hunting up in this thicket around 9:00 am, when i heard crunch crunch crunch coming down this little ridge behind me.

I was tucked up against an old downed oak tree with lots of the branches still attacted. The sun was in my eyes as I watched what appeared to be a doe come'n of this ridge. With the Sun in my eyes and the branches lighting up like fiber optics I couldn't see the 6 points this fella had.

So I stand still and watch as "it" comes by my spot and I see horns. I freeze, he looks at me and then looks the other way....BOOM. I never knew a deer would piss himself, but I swear I smelled it I was so close. He walked a few steps behind me and layed down and expired.

I all so could have sworn his eye got as big as like you see a cartoon character that got suprised by something when i shot, but I'm sure that was my imigination, wasn't it? lol
