This is why I prefer Archery anymore. Firearms season brings out the worst in people. It is just sickening to think of how many deer are laying out there wounded and suffering tonight because of a poor shot.
It happens, show me someone that says they "never miss" and I'll show ya a liarFor what it is worth, I shot 3 times tonight and harvested a doe. I missed on my first (50 yds), and she walked about 10 yards then stopped. I shot her again and this time hit her. I dropped her right there. After 30 minutes I walked up to her and found her alive. Shot her again to finish her off.
The second shot (first hit) broke her spine it turns out and she couldn't move her back legs.. The third was a good heart/lung shot and she died quickly.
I think I aimed a bit too high on the first. The gun is sighted in at 50. Maybe I flinched too, or she was closer than I estimated.
So, don't knock the 3 shot wonders. Sometimes t happens.
BINGO!! I can't stand a "holier than thou" Idiot bowhunter. Hope I offend one lol!!Bad shots are not limited to gun hunters, I have found more dead/unrecovered deer from misplaced arrows than gunshots.

I find it funny how nearly everyone on INGO isn't part of this "shoot more than once" crew.
We are full of dead-eyes around here.
