I was walking down an old dirt road when I heard someone shoot in the hollow to my left. A few seconds later I heard deer running through the brush. I dropped to one knee so I could take steady aim as the deer entered the clearing. A buck and doe were running side by side as fast as they could run. I took aim on the buck and put a shot through his shoulders. Unfortunately the same shot took both rear legs off the doe. The buck fell at the edge of the clearing and kept sticking his head up at me from behind a fallen tree. I fired three more times at his head but I couldn't hit him since he was moving too much. The doe hopped off into the brush leaving a massive blood trail. I dressed out the buck and pulled him to the jeep. My friend Bill helped me load him in the jeep and then we started to follow the doe. We followed her about a quarter of a mile but lost her in the brush. The blood trail just stopped. We went back to the jeep and took the buck to the house. Later that afternoon we went back to look for the doe. We didn't want to waste the meat and let the doe die for nothing. After a lot of leg work the doe hopped into a clearing. Bill shot her in the head, but she was already dead, she just didn't know it. There was no blood left. We dressed her out and took her to the jeep. Then we headed home. Two deer with one shot. That won't happen again.
