I was 16 when I pulled this stunt.
I was sittin in a tree stand bout 12 feet off the ground w/ my shotgun..my new (to me) 12 ga wingmaster. I was proud as a peacock of that gun..
I had shot it a few times to pattern the gun..hadnt bothered me fore. Musta been cause I was standin up..anyways..a small 8pt came right below my stand and stopped. He seemed twitchy. Apparently, so was I cause I took that shot straight down. When I opened my eyes I was on the ground layin straight on top that deer..sprawled on him like I wrestled him to the ground. Whata goober. Werst part was..ole Joe (the feller whos place I was huntin on) wont too fer off..and when he got there..that's the fool position he caught me in. What's the first thing that rascal did was take a picture. That dam thing stayed pinned on the wall of Towers store fer 3 years...good grief...
