You are quite a shot R.R.

Ahhhhh furgitter, I miss our old talks buddy!

I was going to put in my original post that I was not knocking anyones shooting ability. Then I thought, nah, I'll see what my old buddy furgitter has to say to me.

No matter how good a shot someone is, things can go wrong. If a deer turns his head as you pull the trigger, you risk wounding the animal and it can die a slow death.

There are better shots to take. I know you won't like this either, but you owe it to the animals.

Dang right things go wrong,this year i had a shot from one side of a ditch to the other.10ft at most. I was gonna flip his wig.Buck taking a drink.When i squeezed off the gun went CLICK! We both stared at each other with great big eyeballs.and he ran away.I didnt slam the bolt on my carbine hard enough and it wasnt locked.I always let it home slow then tap it so it closes.Well,not enough that time i guess.I can still see the look on that deers face! I couldnt help but laugh.

I guess I'll never understand you furgitter.

Let me ask you one question. Why do you take the low percentage head shot and risk wounding a deer?

Besides "Because I can" and "I'm a great shot."

furgitter

To me there all 100%,I wont pull the trigger on a mabe.I guess it all comes down to aiming small.Things can go wrong,sure.A branch,a head turn, etc. Nothing is for sure.I just know ive never missed a head shot(when i operated my rifle correctly) However,Ive missed a standing deer at 100 yds.What happened? I dont know,something went wrong i guess.So to answer your question,WHY take the low percentage shot? I dont.Its 100% if i pull the trigger,just like a standing shot in the chest.

I feel bad for the deer that will suffer because you messed up and shot it in the jaw. I've seen deer that it has happened to, not a good sight. But then again, that won't happen, because your shots are always perfect.

Edited to add: You never really answered my question and only quoted part of my other post. I asked why, other than the fact you are a great shot.

furgitter

Im better than some,as a matter of fact,im darn good within my limmits.I dont like seeing wounded deer at all.And i sure dont like tracking them.Mabe thats why.They drop every time.
That offer to help bust those poachers is still good.

Why is this in the deer section?

_Dan

LOL Did you forget to clean your ears? I told you I know who they are. But thats off topic.

I guess you still don't get it. Keep up with the head shots and you will mess it up, if you already haven't.

I'll keep shooting them in the bigger target, behind the shoulder. Hmmmm, maybeI should start shooting for the head, those 20-40yrd tracking jobs are tough.

Then again, I see a lot more deer in a year than you do, so I can wait for a better shot.[8D]

p.s. its spelled season not seasion

Why is it on here at all? His new thread about weapons has a lot to do with deer hunting too.
