Killed another one

It was a perfect morning. Cool, crisp, windless, absolutely perfect. The antelope were less than a 1/4 mile from the highway, with 200yds of the county road. This doe was moving not quite parrellel to the road at 200yds. I just bailed out of the truck and let her come closer. She was just trotting along, obviously heading somewhere in particular. She wouldn't stop, so when she reached about 100yds. I swung with her and fired. I stopped the swing when I pulled, and I hit her in the ham. She didn't react, I bolted in another round, swung again and this time followed through. This shot broke her spine. She dropped in her tracks within 10 feet of the road. Lousy shooting on my part tainted a perfect day, but it came out ok.

Well it could have been worse, at least you didn't would her and let her get away. Glad you brought her down with your second shot! Good Job!
