yds Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 (edited) After seeing alot of deer this morning, mainly bucks. We happened on a group x2 bucks x2 does. A long slow stalk on very frosty ground found us belly crawling the last 40m's to get into a shooting position. The original doe we were stalking had dropped down the bank and was only showing us the top of her back. So it left us the follower. 2 shots later and 2 clean misses left us wondering about the zero. We let the totally un-nerved deer walk in and then stalked back out. we checked the rifles zero(it was bang on) and decided to come back for another go in the evening. We settled in early and got comfy as the temp dropped. The sun had just dropped below the tree line when the mature doe appeared. My client settled himself and steadied his breathing, (something he had not done earlier), he also applied better posture which I had shown him in practice. Think she heard the saftey click off but that just made her stand better. His shot was bang on this time and he shot the top off her heart dropping her on the spot.

BangBangNik Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 I have not seen much footge of deer shooting before and was suprised to see they didn't all bolt after the first miss.

deputy dog Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 Nice to see a vid where they put the, all to often missed shots in and not just the kill shots. Nice refreshing watch that fair play. :good: DD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beretta28g Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 Erm, when i have missed before they have always taken off at high speed; it was different to see these totally oblivious to the shot. Interestingly when shooting into the woodland is there a bank there or does the ground rise up? (Being a comparative novice with deer caliber center-fires id be interested to know what backstop there was; as i was under the impression you had to see ground behind your target?)

bullet1747 Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 Just out of interest why do all dear get body shots and not head Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markio Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 Just out of interest why do all dear get body shots and not head So i've been told (and i'm no expert) it's the three independent systems of life. Brain, Heart & Lungs. Heart and lungs being in the same area and present a 4" area to shoot = High humane kill success rate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good vid though. it depends around here there are many bird scarers going off all day as well as game/pigeon shooters so 1 bang often doesn't bother them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yds Posted February 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 There is a stone wall just within the tree line. I am a pro and would not allow a dangerous shot to be taken. My clients on the whole would not take one if i asked them to either. look at the last vid i put up I say they can't shoot beacause "no backstop" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
