Why Cartridge Rifles Are Better Than Muzzle Loaders
You get a quick second (or third) shot. Here's proof.

It would have been interesting to know what kind of distance the shooter was facing, what kind of rifle caliber, and whether scoped or not. If it was sighted in, I would dare to guess you witnessed the worst case of buck fever in a long time.

If you look carefully he kept hitting in front of the deer. Based on where I would aim he was about 1.5-2 feet to the left every shot. I can't believe it was buck fever.
I would think it was on of these:
A. A unsighted or bore sighted rifle
B. A Borrowed rifle (every shooter's zero is different)
C. A Damaged or misaligned Scope
D. Different ammo than what the gun was sighted in with

It looks like he was trying to do a neck shot.Go for the meat and taters behind the shoulder.
Smokepolers would be eating tenderloins.

I've seen this before, read the story on it somewhere a few monhts ago but now I can't remember where. Story was he traveled from somewhere, his gun got bumped and knocked the scope off. APPARENTLY, he didn't check it before going out... ahh lesson learned.

You only get one shot. That teaches you to hit where you need to hit with the first ball.....
