23 years ago in AL. Had 4 does come into a hardwood bottom and I was in a short maybe 12 foot ladder stand. They were within 20 yards and it was my last hunt before going home. I was frustrated from 3 years of hunting without killing a deer. I spent a week of hunting without seeing many deer. I was shaking in the cold trying to move my rifle without making noise and scaring them off. Picked out the biggest doe and put the scope on her neck. .308 dropped her in her tracks. It hooked me on deer hunting for life.
