2 for 1 special

Opening day of hunting season is always an exciting time for me and my grandfather. He spends all year working on his hunting stands in the woods and sitting in the woods almost every night watching deer. Two summers ago we decided to put a food plot down in the woods by our stands so the deer will have a diet of much more protein, giving them a healthy diet allows deer to gain weight while providing bucks bigger stronger antlers. I went home over our little "october break" because it was opening weekend of black powder season. my stand is on a ridge deep in the woods that looks down around 150 yards to a plateau that i have always seen deer on. Saturday morning i got to my stand around six thirty in the morning while it was still dark. around 730, right at daybreak i looked down to my east and saw two deer coming in my direction. one was a nice doe but the other was staggered directly behind it, about 10 yards down the hill with its head down in the brush feeding, i could not tell if it was a buck or a doe so i decided not to shoot for it. the deer stood in front of each other for over 20 minutes and i was anxious to take at least one of them back with me. I decided to take the doe, so i knew i had to hit it high in order for the bullet to go over the back of the other deer. i took the shot and dropped the first deer immediately and the other deer walked slowly in the woods, i was satisfied. About 30 minutes later i walked down to gut the deer and noticed the other deer layin in the brush and walked up to it to noticed the bullet had dropped and i had killed both deer. I have heard of this before but never thought it would happen to me. needless to say i tried for a doe and got it, along with a beautiful six point buck by accident...that was my saturday morning two for one special.
