RE: most shots taken to kill a deer?
if you wound an animal you are obligated to take more shots until you bring it down that is all i was doing. i try not to shoot unlessi havea good shot but when you have buck fever it is a little hard to shot as accurate as you want. is kind of funny i can drop a 400lb black bear with one shot at 200yards but it takes multiple shots to kill a blacktail deer. those deer have a way of making be jittery.
