I was 23 years old in 1975 when I killed my first deer with the rifle. There weren’t nearly as many deer in Georgia back then. I don’t think every county even had a deer season. The season limit was 2 deer and “doe days” were few. Now the limit is 2 bucks and 10 antlerless and in most of the state every day of the season is either sex.

I couldn't find the deer on 7 because it was snowing so hard. Turned it down and leaned against a tree to steady myself. Big doe. She dropped at the shot.
