I've saved myself a bloodtrail with a 2nd shot quite a few times.

Pretty good chance if you hear only one shot, it wasn't me. My deer almost always have more than one hole in them

Cuz you used an obsolete rifle for shot #1. That, or you just can't shoot.

Yup, you can't shoot

Get an AR.

Nah. I can shoot well enough. I have a pretty good batting average.

If I think there's any remote chance that it might MAYBE get up I'm shooting it again. Bullets are cheap.

Posted by JAB528 I'm an obsolete hunter/shooter then. I don't own a glock, semi auto shotgun, or an AR.

I'm as obsolete as it gets too

Your going to be pissed when you go look for 30-30 bullets.

Guess I'll have to settle down with the excessive use of force this year

I love hearing my gun go off.

Killed a 260# 9 point this year that says you're wrong.

Too bad this cat had a camera and not a rifle.

That's ok. I once killed a deer carrying only 3 arrows. I shot 7 times.
