His rifle shot cracked the silence of the green.
The buck reared then pawed at the dirt, his antlered head thrust forward in challenge.

Riveting story, and so much intrigued. And questions. I love the way the table turned between the character and and the deer, that the deer stood its ground and the character wasn't actually there to hunt him.

Hi @bagpuss. I really like your story, and how the hunter tries to save the buck. I'm sure his friends won't be too happy with him!
