A Good Deed

Mickey Donahoo, my softball buddy, and I have a mutual friend who is recovering from surgery that resulted in a terrible, staph infection and he requested that Mickey shoot him a doe.  We were at batting practice this past Tuesday and I mentioned to Mickey that he should come over on Saturday afternoon and comply with the request.

Mickey arrived at 3:00 PM and we drove out, then walked to a tree stand on the backside of my ranch.  Within one hour he nailed a real nice doe.  Nailed it to say the least, at sixty-five yards, he placed one shot from his rifle, right between the deer’s eyes!  

Getting into a nearby ground blind. I was waiting to hear Mickey's shot.  My wait was a short one.  Hearing his shot, I went back to the house, got the tractor, then went back out and picked up the deer and Mickey.  The deer had fallen right in its tracks, right beside the feeder, so Spike, the wonder dog, wasn’t needed to track it down.  

However Spike did take charge and guard it once we brought it back to the house.
