Woe Woe Woe guys!!! Don't jump on someone unless you were there and seen it happen! If you don't know the facts then....

As for the shot she may have hit the deer, I never thought I would say this but I saw on a hunting show this past weekend that a famous hunter shot at a nice buck using a rifle. The buck feel down and they were congratulating each other on the deer when it got up and ran away!!! They looked and looked no blood or hair. they took the video back to the editing studio to see where he hit the deer. They slowed it down showing a frame by frame shot, you could see the bullet in the air, HIT the buck around the shoulder and the bullet litterally bounced off the deer and landed in the ground!!!!

My point is we don't know what happend so don't jump the guy, Yes you should have shot the gun before going hunting,

As for this forum it is public, a place to LEARN, GROW, AND SHARE with hunters as hunters.
