View Full Version : buddy's taken a dozen deer with12 ga slugs
twics as many with bow. Where he uses the bow, it's illegal to be hunting, ya see. He says few fall to the shot with 12 ga, but they rarely are able to move more than about 20m before collapsing.
One, however, moved just as he fired, and he hit the doe in the guts. She ran for nearly a mile, and the only reason that the chase was that "short' was that a chunk of her intestines had come out of the hole in her gut, and had gotten caught in the top strand of barbed wire, as she jumped a fence. She ran about 20m further "unraveling" her insides as she fled. Deer are MUCH tougher than men, and gut hits aint worth a crap.
He should have been using a 45-70 and hit better.

You need to get your dreams analyzed. These are deer, John let's see pictures of the game YOU have shot.
Terry, puhleeze! Who wants to see pictures of dead dogs.
(Please forgive, just kidding, couldn't resist. :D )

Obviously gunkid, you lack the marksnmanship skills to be a competent hunter. If you could legally buy a gun, you could practise more often.

Question- Who shot the tire? Didn't know there was a season on them.

:-poke:There is a season on tires , but it's limited to air rifles of .177 or smaller. It' s more entertaining that way, as the projectile bounces back with about the same velocity. Watching hunters jump out of the way without spilling their beer can amuse you for hours. Actually, I had to take the thing down after my daughter (too enthusiatically) went about fifteen feet in the air and flipped out of it. Skinned knees, nothing else. I would have been in a body cast for six months.
