This thanksgiving i was setting in my stand and had a good buck come running towards me, he stopped at 80 yards facing me, and I make the decision to shoot him in the chest, He had his head turned sideways but his chest was directly towards me, I'll admit that I flinched and pulled off, the bullet went right through his windpipe (I didnt find this out till later) the buck didnt even flinch. I loaded another shell, he turned and went up the other side of the hollow, he stopped on the side of the hill at a real steep angle, buck fever has me comsumed by now, I shoot again this time aiming for the vitals, and it knocks him off his feet and he rolls to the bottom of the hollow, I think hes down but he jumps back up and runs abotu 15 yards then stops, he stood there for close to a minute, I figured he would drop any minute so I didnt have the scope on him, but he took off running instead and got away, got away from me that is my dad was settin in teh next hollow and dropped him. Upon examination, My first bullet went through the windpipe and the second blew his shoulder up but the anglewas steep enough that the bullet didnt get in deep enough, 1 more inch and he would been a goner. but this buck just stood there and let me shoot at him.
