That is good shooting whyohe. I'd say the deer better watch out. Hopefully you will have some tenderloin for supper in a few days. ;D
Keep us posted as how she does.

well just to let you know she does good its the forgetful operator that needs help. i missed one to day at 10 yards . she was walking fast and i was following her and pulled trigger and she turned around instantly!! thought i hit her but no blood watched her bound off and then walk away fine, no limp nohunch just confused. followed tracks for apx 100 yards and kicked up a small half rack buck and a doe. followed the doe and watched her walk and bound off. no blood checked beds no blood. followed her across field. and sat and waited and hour.went back to where i jumped them just in case wrong deer. kicked up 2 more doe adn waled and ran fine. went to tracks no blood. followed back to beds, no blood.followed tracks to friends yard. again no blood. getting frustraited!! went back to spot where i shot and where deer was standing and waled back to where i was sitting to see if i hit a branch. sat down in down fall of trees where i shot from and noticed that i forgot ther was a branch pointing the same way i was shooting and there was a skid mark going down on branch from the bullet 2 feet from end of barrel!!! DOH !! well i feel better that i truly missed and it was MY fault.will try again next friday or monday.(wich ever day i get off).
