contact to the back of the head on a 4x5 whitetail. first shot him at 40 yards. he was dead but didn't read the memo. disappeared into some short cedars and busted out on the trail i was standing on. stepped back off the trail and shoved the muzzle against his head as he went past.
should have let him keep running. ended up hauling him out of a couple acres of blow down. had i not shot the second time he would have cleared them .

the consolidation of the states into one vast republic, sure to be aggressive abroad and despotic at home, will be the certain precursor of that ruin which has overwhelmed all those that have preceded. Robert E Lee
