Yes, I know the hunter. He is a friend and co-worker of one of my best friends.
He had only seen the deer one other time and didn't take a shot then. During that cold snap we had here in E Tn a couple of weeks ago is when he killed him near a food source.
.... and yes, I am UPSman. Alice is what all my buddies call me at deer camp cause I am always picking up after them
