Grandma wanted some venison to take to relatives in California. So was going in thinking I was going for a small doe.

Heard deer coming in. Thought they were behind me, kept looking behind then saw spike spook up in front of me because I turned my head too fast. Looked behind the spike then this guy was standing there. Took at shot at this guy. Didn’t run no more than 40 yards. Didn’t realize a even bigger 8 pter was behind this guy.
