My Uncle tells a "story" of a buck he shot years ago that I thought I would share with you guys. My Dad and my Uncle used to go to the same area every year on opening weekend, rifle. They both killed many, many nice bucks over the years. My Uncle still uses the same old model 94, 30-30 that he shot all those bucks with. He has this big granite rock he sits on and uses it like a tree stand. Well one year he had just climbed down off his rock and was going to cross the creek and head back to camp. The creek bottom was covered with willow bushes and the deer had made tunnels through it. As he entered the tunnel he came face to face with a buck coming toward him. He took one quick shot from the hip and the buck drop straight down. My dad, hearing the shot, joined him shortly after and helped him get it back to camp. Why this is so intriguing is because they never did find a bullet hole. Even after skinning it and searching for a clue. So, is this a bunch of bull or have you guys ever seen or heard of something like this happening before? Do you think it is possible that it just scared it to death? This happened many years ago and they both still tell the same old story. I have no reason to believe they would make this up. What do you think?
