She was going like the clappers and the bullet hit her high in the lungs. I think that the whole three of us (me, Tilly and the deer) were damned surprised. Although when I pulled the trigger I did think that I had about the right lead on her but it might have been a bit high. There was no sign of a hit because she was disappearing into a tussock hollow as I fired. I found her when Tilly cut her ground scent, and there she was dead as a door knob.
