RE: Would you have shot the last deer in this video three times?
I couldn't tell exactly where the first shot hit the deer, but to me it certainly looked like he wasn't going far. However, I have to be honest...
The first deer I ever shot was a big doe. I shot her three times, even though the first shot would have guaranteed a relatively quick death. And the first big buck I shot I actually shot five times, because I wanted to make sure that I didn't lose him. I was 15 years old at the time and obviously inexperienced.
I think that maybe that played an important role in the video...maybe and excited inexperienced hunter, maybe the first two shots just weren't good shots,maybe the hunter just wanted to end the deer's suffering as quickly as possible.
Anyway you look at it, it's a dead deer that will put meat on the table and a beautiful trophy for the wall. I am in NO way putting the hunter down...just wanted to get everybody's opinion.
Thanks to everyone for the feedback.
