Default RE: most shots taken to kill a deer?

3 on one I got a couple times. When I first started I shot a couple deer with a 12 gauge right through the lungs. A killing shot but they run. Well not wanting them to get away I kept shootin at em. It tended to mess up some meat. Now I hit the shoulder and drop them in site. I will also put a killing shot in a deer I hate to see a deer suffer and will not hesitate so I can say I only shot it once.

6 on one I missed. We put a dandy of a buck out on a drive. It went right by me at 50 yards broadside in the wide open. All safe background to shoot. I have no problem taking a short shot on a jogging deer with no brush. I take the first shot and he does not even flinch, repeat this four times! He goes into a pine thicket we push him outa there and again at 40 yards broadside two more time and nothing!! He runs into one of my buddies at 10 yards and he dropped em. Nice big buck. I head right to the range and shoot the gun. 15 inches low at 50 yards!!! Still have no idea how that scope got nocked!
