Last night I stopped by the local Sportsman's Warehouse to see if they had any primers. I think I will hit Powerball before I see primers again. Anyway, on my way out of the store, there is this video of a rifle deer hunt with a beautiful wide racked 4X4 standing broad side in a bunch of does. When the does finally cleared a shot rang out and you could clearly see where the bullet hit. Could not have been a better GUT shot just in front of the flank. The camera guy even said "ooooh, a gut shot".
OK, so nerves and the huge size of the rack made you miss, that happens, but what happens next is not OK in my book. The buck somehow found a way to spin and walk about 30 yds where he presented an even better broad side shot while hunched up like he was trying to take a hard dump. You could here the rack of another shell in the gun just after shot so the shooter was more than ready to finish him off, but did they....Noooo. They waited and waited and waited before making the decision to finish him with a well placed second shot.
Ya know, we owe it to the prey we hunt to do a clean quick job and I left the store somewhat PO'd that someone would think that was a good job. The gut shot is going to happen now and again for a number of reasons and that's hunting, but taking your sweet a** time when a good follow-up shot is needed is uncalled for.
On another note, anyone know what's going on with the primer situation? Smells fishy (kinda Demoractic fishy) that CCI, Federal, Remington and Winchester all quit making primers at the same time.
