My cousing was hunting a couple of years ago and she saw two does one in front of the other, and without thingking about the one behind the one she was aiming at she shot the one in front and killed the doe behind that one two..... two deer at the same time.

You're right. I don't believe it.

RE: you will not believe this
 

I know it is hard to beleive but trust me she was using a 30-06 and brought em down I promise

somewhat diffenent but I do it while spearfishing all the time. You track one fish and then you take the shot and next thing you know you got two fish on the spear. I usually get so focused on my target fish I don't think about or see the ones behind it.

RE: you will not believe this
 

aww man with a 30-06, that will pass though both of em probably, I believe it.

I have seen it done also. Took a buddy our hunting to fill his doe tag and I specifically warned him i would tell him when to shoot. He played hero and shot whiile the does were staning close by, dropped them both with a shot to the neck and back. It can be done but this is definatley nothing to be proud of. One of the golden rules is be sure of your target and beyond, as a result i had to use my tag on one of the deer and never took that fella out with me again.

Thats the problem right there.

Oh I agree it is a crappy thing to have happened I just thought it was rare.

RE: you will not believe this
 

It is possible. My dad had a chance to take two doe standing that way. he didn't take the shot because, on the slope angle he was at he would have hit the first one high and the second one low.

My brother did it back in the mid 80`s.
He was using marlin-35. There were 4 or 5 does come up on him at one time. He sead he picked out one aimed and shot. I was in the woods at the same time and i only heard one shot? When i came out he was already back at the truck. Thats when he told me that he had shot two with one shot. He could not believe it ether. He sead one stepped behind the other and he shot one through the ribs and the bullett went through one and hit the other in the neck. Just a complete accident[8D]

Happened to a guy that was hunting near me a couple years ago. Shot at an 8 pt and hit the doe behind it as well. I help him track the doe, which we found about 150 yds away. If I knew the doe was there I wouldn't take the shot and risk wounding the doe.

RE: you will not believe this
 

that's definitely possible.

Two years ago, I shot a buck in Preston County, WV and also hit a doe behind it with a .300 Weatherby Mag. I didn't realize until I was dragging him out and ran across a second blood trail.

I was suspicious, so I backtracked and found that the trail began right where I fired. There was some hair in the snow as well.

I tracked her for about an hour, and she never stopped. If I had to guess, I think I lodged it in her left rear quarter. I hit a lot of bony mass in the buck, so it probably lost most of its Kinetic Energy before impact.

It would've been worse had I not hit the buck's shoulderblades.

The doe was standing about 8-10 ft. behind - I didn't even see her, b/c I was focused on hitting the buck.

Happened not that long ago in my area - a hunter shot right through the deer - and hit a hunting partner behind the deer - I cannot recall for sure - but I think he lived.

Still - it reminds us to be sure whats behind the deer.

i belive it

RE: you will not believe this
 

I have done it on purpose when I hunt Feral pigs, but I would not take a shot at a Deer if another is in the line of fire.

RE: you will not believe this
 

I shot 2 quail with one shot once.....does that count?:)

RE: you will not believe this
 

Quicksilver, great story, something to be proud of.:eek: So you looked for the doe for a whole hour, you must have been exhausted. I'm confused though, you said it would have been worse, can you explain how leaving a wounded deer in the woods (that you didn't mean to hit in the first place) could have been worse?

I usually don't play the "high and mighty" card but you telling that story just drives me nuts.

RE: you will not believe this
 

I belileve it it happened to a friend of mine when I was out hunting with him. He did it with a 12 guage shot gun. He was shooting at a 6 point buck and that was with three other does. The bullet went right through the buck and then on of the does. He was up hill from them and they were slightly down hill maybe 50-60 yard and had just started tracking away from him. The funny thing was I was hunting not far away and I heard a single shot. I waited about 25 minutes and walked over two where he was expecting to see a dead deer. To my suprise there were two dead deer lying about 10 feet apart.

RE: you will not believe this
 

my dad did this in nov he shot both with one shot

RE: you will not believe this
 

I believe it. My dad just last month in texas took two does with one shot, dropped 'em in their tracks too. A good .270 will never fail in capable hands.

RE: you will not believe this
 

Never shoot two at once but i took a shot at a buck with the bow and soon as i released a f*^&%$# doe ran in front of him. Killed her not him. Man im still pissed over that and its been 8 years now.
