RE: how many times have u shot a deer
Three times! I was in my tree stand and a nice 9 pt buck walked past me broadside at about 35 yds. I was using a Marlin .444 lever with a 1.5-4 scope. I let the buck walk into a clear spot in the brush and put the cross hairs just behind the crease in the front leg 1/3 way up the body. I pulled the trigger , boom, the buck just kept walking? No reaction , I figured that I must have missed ( deflection by a branch?) so I ligned up the cross hairs again boom , still no reaction. The buck continued to walk without breaking pace for about 20 yds and then stopped. I fired a third shot at which he went down. When I went over to field dress him he had 3 holes in the chest all the shots were fatal. To this day I don't know how that buck didn't even flinch when hit with close to 3000 Ft/lbs of energy each time.
