phantom 308 Posted January 13 (edited) he probably just got buck fever and jerked the trigger . Edited January 13 by phantom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ncountry 1252 Posted January 13 I know buck fever is a terrible thing for some. One of my favorite stories (doesn't involve me.)A friends dad shoots at a nice buck 3 times. That is what he says as he tells the story. " But dad I only heard 1 shot". At his feet are 2 unshot shells and 1 spent casing. He shot once and just racked the others through.. And this is a guy with over 40 years of hunting under his belt...Luckily for him the 1st shot hit him and he recovered the deer.. I won't tell any of my archery stories ..With a gun , I'm like a stone cold sniper.. with a bow.. Not so much..;) 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GreenDrake 706 Posted January 13 This is a true story confirmed by the uncle in the story. I guy I know shot a big buck, his first, opening day when he was just out of high school with a Rem 1100 his parents bought him for graduation. He approached the deer and in celebration, proceeded to wrap the sling over the deer’s antlers then called out to his uncle. As his uncle approached, the deer jumped up and ran off. Neither the deer nor shotgun were ever recovered. Fearing his parents would be mad at him, his uncle bought him a new shotgun that same evening. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Daveboone 826 Posted January 14 no matter what...it was the hunter. Poorly sighted / mounted rifle, lack of rifle practice, excitement, etc. I am thinking inexperienced. the deer had already stopped when he hit the grunt tube. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
