took a buddy out for his first hunting trip this weekend and he got hid first Deer a huge doe with ML
we arrived at the chosen field at first light and put a stalk on 2 deer feeding on the far side of some bales. We crept to the bales and i took a peek over the deer were still unaware of our presence happily feeding at 80 yards, so i told him to rest on the bales and take the shot. I could hear his breathing was heavy so i told him to count to ten and relax he had all the time in the world. He did the readied for the shot. I watched through the scope on my gun, he took a nice controlled breath and kaboom. GUT SHOT!!! all i saw was the bullet smack and the huge hernia on the exit. After calling him a few choice words i handed him my gun and told him to finish the job the deer just hunched up and started walking slowly or i would have put it down. This time he made a perfect shot right through the heart and down she went. Needless to say he did his first field dress while i stood back and explained why a gut shot is bad news when field dressing but i think he got the picture :lmao:
she dressed out nice though the first shot was so low it didn't ruin any meat and my buddy has his first of many hunting stories
