Default Most Unusual shot made.

I'm curious to know about some of the most unual shots made on a Gobbler.

Here's mine: I had two gobblers coming in, one following the other by about 6 or 7 feet. I'm right handed and they came in on my left, which was ideal, but as I said, one was following the other, they were parallel to me. I had to shoot between to large oaks and from the distance I only had about a foot wide gap to shoot thru. ( I stepped off the shot and it was 29 steps.)
When I shot they both hit the ground, the first was dead and the 2nd one was trying to get up, I had get up and run to them and shoot the 2nd one again. I couldn't understand how I hit the 2nd bird until I went back to my stool and studied the shot window. To my amazement there was a tree about 2 inches in diameter between me and the big oaks, it was obvious that a large amount of my shot hit it. The only conclusion I could come to was that some of the shot was deflected off of it and hit the other bird. When I cleaned him he only had three pellets in him, one thru the left side of his breast, one broke his left wing and one broke his left leg. Weird but true, if I could fiqure how to post a picture I would include it.

I would like to hear about your shots.
