Had an awesome night hunting with my dad! It’s was getting just about dark and I still hadn’t seen any deer. After hearing some rustling in the corn field I got ready to take whatever came out. Two minutes later ten does came up over the hill about 35 yards away. They were all in a group and couldn’t get a shot at one of the bigger ones. I picked one out but couldn’t find a clean shot. Out of the corner of my eye I saw a huge doe walking towards me. I put my sights on her and as soon as she turned broadside I shot. She ran about 40 yards and piled up. I used my brand new 350 Legend that I just bought on Tuesday. 25 yard shot. It was a night for the books.
