This happened either 50 or 51 years ago. a hunting companion and I were walking up a pretty steep logging road. There was brush on both sides of the road. I was walking on the left when all of a sudden, probably 20' up the hill,a 4 point buck(10 point eastern count) busted out of the brush and headed down hill towards me.

As he saw us, he moved off to my left side to miss me. As he went by, I cocked the 94 Winchester and swung from the hip and I do not know how the end of the barrel missed him. But I did shoot him in the neck and he slid down the hill. Pretty exciting. By the way, the buck was a cross between a black tail and white tail.
