RE: What's the most impressive shot you've ever seen on a deer?
The first shot was mine. It was my first year of hunting. I used a remington 870 20 gauge. A spike came along the trail my dad and I were set up on and stopped 2 1/2 feet away and started eating. I thought the click of the safety was going to spook it.
The second shot I witnessed happened this past season. I took my cousin out for the youth season and he shot a 5 pointer in the jugular with my muzzleloader. It dropped crawled ten yards and bled out all in about 4 seconds. The trail was about 3 feet wide and solid the whole way. I included the picture.
But by far the best shot was shotgun deer season in southern iowa. The guy whos land we were hunting on saw a doe running straight away 300 yards away. He took his shotgun "aimed" from the hip with his shotgun. Pulled the trigger and the doe disappeared. It was shot in the back of the head.
P.S.I try to stay on his good side.
