holloway Posted May 21 Report Share Posted May 21 (edited) Not done any stalking myself ,but that looked risky to me . Dare i say it looks like the deer may have moved a little after death 🤔 Edited May 21 by holloway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imissed12 Posted May 21 Report Share Posted May 21 The stalker is wrong to tell the client too take the shot when the buck is inline with trunk , and the client was wrong in taking the shot. Ultimately it was the stalkers responsibility to ensure his client is taking a safe shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dare i say it looks like the deer may have moved a little after death 🤔 how does anything "move a little after death" although the shot was totally unsafe imho,that Deer dropped like it was pole axed AND it was, also imo a lucky shot because he wouldn't have been aiming where he actually hit AND the optic on the rifle didn't look like it was up to the job of taking on a shot at that distance which is why he missed the engine room.

How does something move after death ? answer …… you move it down a slope to make the back drop look safer . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may be right. I would say the dog went to where the buck was shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The still of the shot is bad enough, but when I watched the video I could not believe he even considered that shot. It was uphill shooting at a ridge.

He's that eager to get the kill shot for his video, he threw the safety book out the window. Appalling disregard for safety, especially with how shaky he was on the shot. The further you watch the video the more you realise that any "unseen" backstop that we the viewer might not yet have known was there in fact isn't there at all. I agree.
