[QUOTE="svnmag, post: 409033, member: 330"] On leave in the mid 90's on a squirrel/turkey whatever hunt. Saw a yearling doe slip and stumble down the side of holler and ended up face to face with me with her tongue hanging out. I quickly checked her for an arrow wound with negative result. Our eyes were locked: I closed mine and said; "You're safe honey"; (no shit) and she damn near brushed me when she passed. About five minutes later I saw a big assed mixed bear hound appear; nose to the ground; following her exact path. I yelled to Pard: I had a dog running deer. He told me to shoot it. (His uncle's farm) At 40/50yds; I swung past it's nose and rolled it. Plugs aren't mandated in the Hills (except dove/waterfowl) and I emptied six or seven more shots into it's underside as I didn't want to see a twitch or hear a yelp. When Pard came across the hill to see the carcass he looked up at me and couldn't believe the range for a 16ga. (I didn't want to shoot it in the face): "You killed "THIS" from "THERE"?!!" I still feel weird about the killing the "Hound of the Baskervilles" and proud of the gun. That is all. [/QUOTE]
