Shot this guy yesterday afternoon, I was slowly making my way to my hunting stand, glassing in the mild snow storm, as I have learned to expect the unexpected...suddenly to my right, I caught a glimpse of this guy, within 100 yards, and he was standing still and suspicious...we both froze, and I was comfortable making a standing shot, as I practice regularly...I knew I would have to get my shot off quickly and accurately, and most of his lungs were blocked by a small pine tree..I took off my safety before bringing the gun up to my shoulder, brought it up quickly, and made sure that even though I would have to shoot quickly, I consciously would have to squeeze softly and not jerk the trigger, and I did exactly that, and aimed on the narrow gap that I had of his lungs/vitals...I hit him but he bolted into the thick, I waited 30 mins before slowly following his tracks in the snow..I started seeing blood after a few yards, and ever so slowly made my way through the clear cut then the thick stuff, flagging the blood trail as I went..I then found him laying dead, and the real work began...
