It was a whitetail in the trees along a river. only had a 5 foot wide shooting lane where he was at
I barked to get him to stop in the lane-he did but turned and faced me instead of giving me a broadside
I have been second guessing everything a 1000 times-probably should have bleated and grunted to get him to investigate but the does he was with kept moving and this was my only chance at a shot
In nebraska we can't use powered objectives so I was iron sights still should have been a easy shot
My hypothesis is that the round was a floater-a few trips to the range after cleaning the rifle good before hand the first shot often hits a little high-may be that was it-I don't know
I killed a doe last week with the same rifle-on the first shot off ofa clean bore and it killed her dead enough

like I said before-its called hunting-not killing, for a reason
