Thanks all.

She came in from my right just behind the tree in which I had climbed. She was spooked somewhat and looked me over several times, but eventually put her head down and away while perfectly broadside, hence the mention of divine help. I have no other explanation for her to seem so edgy but yet stay around and present such a golden opportunity.

Blessings come in many ways, at any time, and often when we least expect them. She could have ran in another direction in thick cover, yet stayed in sight almost all of her final run making the light blood trail a moot point.

God is good even when we really don't deserve it, but He knows best. She was a gift for sure.

Congrats!!
