I've practice shot w/ him a few times and he's pretty accurate up to 30 yards, I know it was a case of major doe fever. He said he tried to find blood and couldn't, he followed the trail she went down and couldn't find her either, I was out of townand haven't been down to the site myself since. I'm thinking that he should do some practicing on a deer target instead of just spots, maybe then it won't seem so odd to shoot at a deer.
