O.K. sorry , missed that. But a key word in that sentence could be "we". Three maybe four guys shot 50 shots at a buck one day , the same buck. That tells me that at that range the buck is unalarmed at the rifle shots heard 600 - 1000 yards away. Alot of variables were probably involved. Nowhere in the article does it say that they wounded any deer and just kept on hunting. I would guess with the high tech optics they could tell if they ever wounded one. If they did wound one and made no effort to retrieve it , then I'd call them "slob hunters"!

We have a group of hunters that own land next to ours that sound like Iwo Jima on opening day. I dont consider them "slob hunters" because they do alot of shooting and dont get many deer.

It seems to me that too many folks are quick to label someone "slob hunters" because it's not the way they prefer to do it. Especially without knowing the whole story!
