I've posted about it before. It is after all, one of my few great hunting moments!

My second ever deer hunt and first public land deer hunt. Hunting alone in heavy rain thinking what the hell am I doing. Walked around a heavily foliated tree and there was a big red hind chomping away on the leaves less than 2 metres away. Couldn't see anything in the scope apart from deer. Pulled the trigger and she ran. Managed a perfect, though unnecessary Texas heart shot and she fell. After calming down a bit, the shaking stopped and I thought, fuck, that was easy! That was 2019 and the last deer I shot.
