I DO NOT PLAN ON NEEDING A FOLLOW UP SHOT lol
None of us do.......the need for it happens though!
A good friend of mine shot a nice buck this year.He was walking slowly kind ofquartering away at about 50 yards. He aimed behind the front shoulder into the heart/lung area. He shot and the deer's rear dropped and he started to try and run with his front legs while dragging his rear legs. He shot again and that was all that was needed. My friendnoticed when he got out of his stand that he hit a small1/2 inch or so sapling that deflected the first shot enough to cause a bag first hit. This stuff happens.I personally like having a follow up shot. Haven't had to take a follow up shot yet, but it's nice to know I can if I need to.
