Opening morning of shotgun season. saw him beaded down looking the opposite way. He was about 80 yards away was able to stalk up on him to within 40 yards, but then he got up and started chasing a doe. Ended up taking a 60 yard shot as he was on a dead sprint. Shot was straight threw the lungs and he traveled about 50 yards after being hit. he weighed 188lb field dressed and scored 138'

	If a conservative doesn't like guns, he doesn`t buy one. If a liberal doesn't like guns, he feels that no one should have one.
