Good hell.....I don't even know what to post here. A lot of guys I really respect are sounding like PETA activists. He killed the damn deer with three shots over five minutes. The first shot was marginal. I have seen a deer's jaw get blown off at 50 yards by an "experienced" hunter. For 625 he did ok... The second shot was a killer, as was the third. There is time between the shots...THE DEER MOVED. Should he go all western and just start winging wild shots??? How can you possibly say he is a "poor" shooter?
What percentage of Shot deer (any weapon) suffer for more than five minutes? I would bet a large percentage do.
As for the laughing and emotion, this is the most confounding part of the attacks for me....the day I quit getting emotional about hunting and success is the day I stop. And yes, sometimes that comes out as LAUGHTER (happiness).
I killed my first deer with a bow this year at 65 yards. I have had several Delta Bravos tell me that that was too far and I have no business shooting at live animals at that distance.
There are always those among us that feel a need to tell others how to enjoy the thing that we love the most. In the end it is up to each of us to find our own way to do it and leave others the hell alone.
The video is good, thanks for posting.
I AM FAR MORE OFFENDED BY THE MOSSBACK VIDEOS WHERE HE ALWAYS BEATS THE HUNTER TO THE ANIMAL AND HAS THE DAMN TAPE ON THE ANTLERS BEFORE THE HUNTER CAN APPRECIATE THE ANIMAL OR WHAT JUST HAPPENED.
Good topic for discussion, not impressed with all the personal attacks.....
