I did that, twice. The first, was with my recently zeroed 30-30, had forgot to dial the scope back down to 4 from 9 and the deer looked bigger in the scope, most was behind a bush, so only seen the front shoulder. As I squeezed off the round, I seen the spots and tried to pull up, but too late. The second, in another season, a deer was in a rut, and could not see the legs at all, until I walked up to it. Didn't weigh them, but they were light, and very tasty BTW. That was back in the late 80s' early 90s', now I do like young deer, but spots is my line.
