It took them a while but they finally made it to my field and started to cross. The bad thing was they were running with no intention of slowing down. I picked one out, led her a little and squeezed the trigger. I heard the muzzleloader bark and the thump of the bullet finding it's home. When the smoke cleared I watched as all the deer were still running. I quickly started to reload just in case I got another shot. After I was reloaded I looked up and saw my deer down and the rest of the deer were just hanging out by her. So I thought if I could get down and sneak to within a hundred yards or so I could get another shot. I stealthily put my plan into effect however just as I started to get close enough to get another shot the doe's picked my out and busted.
It was 8:30 am by this time, so I started to the car to lighten my clothes and get to work. I walked back out and started to field dress the deer when I heard the best sound a successful deer hunter can hear, the sound of a side by side driving in the field to you. My buddy Tom had heard me shoot, so he threw a jacket on and hopped on his Kabota and drug my deer in for me. Sure is good having friends with ATV's.
