In this case, the shooter must be more aware of their intended target and as aware as possible of un-intended targets. In this case, he knew there were multiple deer grouped. Thus should not have fired until his target was asfree and clear as could be reasonbly be determined. I hope that he as learned a very valuable lesson about the responsiblity of a leathal weapon.

A friend of mine's son last yearunintentionallykilled two bucks with one 12ga slug on his first day everhunting deer. The boy did not see the other buck standing directly behind hisprimary target. A complete pass-through did the rest.However, theboy did have two buck tags in his pocket. But felt terrible over the unintended kill. We all did.

First I've ever heard three deerwith one shot of any weapon.

As for the 240gr XTP. Most remarkable. I would have never imagined. Still one of my favorite projectiles and always a dream to load.
