December 26, 1983. An old Marlin 30-30 with iron sights given to me by the father of the girl I was dating in high school. Back then doe days opened the day after Christmas so I was hoping to kill a doe. I got a ladder stand for Christmas so I took it up to a place in Elmore county close to Real Island and set it up. I climbed up and in about an hour later I see a deer to my right.
I turned myself around and hung my legs off the side of the stand so I could shoot the deer with my right shoulder. When I moved, the deer saw me and looked at me and that's when I saw he had about 4 inch spikes. Just as I pulled the trigger, he started to move and I hit him back. He ran behind the stand and I spun around and was working that lever like Chuck Conners shooting as he went away!
He passes me and I empty the gun at him. I see him lay down about 80 yards away right in front of me but his head is up. He keeps looking around and all I can see his back and his head. After about 5 minutes I decided to take a last shot. I aimed and fired and he was done.
He probably didn't weigh 100 lbs. I field dressed him (1st time) I saw I hit him 3 times. I drug him to the road and I got my brother to help me load him in the hatch back of my 1980 Honda Civic and headed back home! I was so proud!!
