What kind of real hunter does this?
#23

No worries Snipe. I just personally know a family that has a permit to shoot deer year round because of the damage they cause to their crops. I don't know what their situation is on people hunting their land though. I do agree that the guy in the OP should ask family or even ask around town to find people to hunt his land if he has a problem with deer.

I agree he simply could've thought he missed. He could have counted 6 to begin with, fired(squinting under anticipation of recoil), opened eyes, and seen 6 white butts bounding away, and thought "dang I missed". Pissed off, he slams door, and drives off.
May have never had a bang-flop before.
Also, you'd think he would've just kept shootin at em 3, 4, whatever times if he had some angst towards them.
I shot at a doe once, out of a small herd of 4, coming towards me out of a steep ravine. I saw them go into it, quartering towards me, so I was prepared for them to exit.
When they did, I let loose on the second and biggest one with my .444 marlin.
In the following seconds 4 does nearly knocked my ladder down running by.
They were so close, my scope hindered me, and I couldn't get a second shot. It was comical.
If you remember the old "Muppet show", where the sax player in the end looked down his sax, as if it was broken. That was me.
Finally I couldn't take it anymore, KNOWING, I had to hit her.
I climed out of my ladder after sitting there for an hour further.
Went over there to see where my bullet actually went, and I found it.
Right in the chest of a large doe. She dropped instantly back into the gulley.
There was 5 deer that went in, I missed one.

OP,
You said he was in Agriculture right? Well that tells it all, you saw him shoot a deer then run off and that irritated you badly. Well he was trying to control the white tail population. Because Hunters have been leary of land owners killing deer for "Management" but really for the meat or for the horns (like any farmer gives a **** about the dam horns, we don't see why u guys really like the rack at all) we have to leave it lay.
Hunters forced that peice of legislation on us and now you guys don't like it eh? well to bad! its about time your stupidity bit u in the arse!
The world does not revolve around hunting so quite thinking it does! And they wonder why I banned hunting from my land completely. gahhhh
