I was hunting from a 12' tree stand one November morning about a dozen years ago. When a doe and a 5 point buck hopped a fence about 50 yards away and headed right for me. The buck was right behind the doe and at about 10 yards I took a shot with my 9 and 1/2" barrel scoped .44 mag SRH. I shot right over the buck, and the doe and buck walked out to maybe 25 yards and stood there looking around. My second shot put the buck down right there and the doe left the area. I suppose with the loud noise of the handgun the deer didn't know where the shot came from and weren't really alarmed.
