herd was coming. Soon they
were in sight. There were four
does and a buck.
I"They were grazing on
acorns and heading right for
me-" he said. They kept COM
ing and I couldn't decide
whether to shoot or wait and
take a chance that they
wouldn't spook. ..
Il drew on him at least
three times and had to let
down each time. Once he got
behind a tree just as I was
ready to shoot. I was trembling
so hard that I thought sure
they would hear me. That buck
looked me right in the eye
three times, but the camou-
flage suit kept him from seeing
me and they came on.
Finally he was right under
the tree. Then when 1t was
time to shoot, I wasn't trem-
bling any more and I let him
have it just as calmly as II I'd
been target shooting"
The buck, field dressed,
