Well, I messed up. We were on our way home from dinner at the Granite Steak House in Rochester, and as we were coming up to the flashing light in New Durham, a deer came out in front of us. I had just passed a car and put up my high beams, and saw the deer. This is where I screwed up. Instead of sitting on a tree stand for hours at a time, hoping to shoot a deer with a 30-30 bullet moving at 2300 feet per second per second, I could have picked off the deer with a 2010 Corolla doing 40 MPH, but I guess I was smart and hit the brakes. We were both able to live to see another day.

It was a little close, not laying down rubber skidding to a stop close, but close. Nice spike buck.

Maxum. nice deer.
