The joy of hunting...never knowing what's going to show up. No history with this deer, except the 20 seconds I had to make a decision on whether or not to shoot him. Sure glad I did. ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2018/12/full-24157-171690-img_0286.jpg)

Awesome deer. 20 seconds, it happens like that a lot. Congratulations.
An unethical shot is one you take, that you know you shouldn't.

Thanks ya'll. This deer came out of nowhere. There were two doe at the feeder that I was keeping an eye one, when I look out the window to my right and this dude is walking by about 140yds out. I had to get setup out of my right window quick. By the time that I did, he was just feet away from walking into a thicket that wouldn't have allowed a shot. Just as I was able to get the scope on him, I gave him the human grunt call and he stopped in his tracks, allowing me to squeeze one off. He ultimately made it in the thicket, but only about 10ft in as he was wearing a .308 round. Funny story....I had a buddy with me that weekend. He hunted every sit with me but that Sunday morning he decided to sleep in, so I went to the only one man blind we have on the place. He texted me about 7:45am asking how the movement was and that if I didn't see anything to pick him up around 9am and we would go sit somewhere else for a couple of hours. Within 10mins of that text, I was sending him this pic.....had to rub it in a bit, and I really do have front teeth. ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2018/12/full-24157-171697-img_0272.jpg)

Now some ol' boy on a nearby pasture who has been feeding this guy for years, taking pictures of this guy for years, bragging about all the pictures of this guy to his buddies for years will never see him again. I hope you can live with yourself for all the heartache you have caused. It was probably a kid too and he may give up on hunting because of the trauma. Man I hope you can live with yourself. I know I could! Nice one!
