re: Why is it taboo for "professional" deer hunters to shoot more than once?

Same for me. If I can get another shot and it's not on the ground I'm taking it. I've seen too many deer get away from others. A 2nd shot just makes sure it goes down and doesn't get away wounded. Anything can happen on the shot. Bullet can hit a limb or you can jerk accidentally on the shot.

We have lost deer shot inside our place. We only found this one due to the buzzards a week later

Do you shoot them twice if you're given the chance?
Posted on 7/20/14 at 9:50 pm to DownshiftAndFloorIt
Always

So what gives?
It you had a camera man would you shoot a deer twice?

I have no problem pumping lead in a deer that isn't down yet. If you have ever tracked a deer in South Texas you know it isn't fun. Everything down there either sticks or stings you.
If someone is filming me shooting something, it's probably snapchat

So the high fence thing isn't it.
We need some bone collectors to post here.

I think it's because the tv guys don't want to be seen as making/taking a bad shot maybe?

The only times I've seen them have a chance at a second shot, they have taken them, so I am not sure what you are talking about at all. I've even seen archery shows with more than one hit.

Had one that was supposed to be dead put a back hoof in my shin. If I even think it's not dead now, I'm shooting or cutting.

Probably cause they are trying to sell the latest and greatest rifles and ammo.
These (insert brand here) bullets put em down no matter where you hit em!

As anyone with any sense will, if you have hunted more than a few times you have seen a high shoulder a little back drop like a stone...then stand up.
Neck shooters get em too. Until the belly quits rising and falling, you may better be ready.

I'm the same way. I've had to track people's deer for hours and miles after they dropped it. They are guys who can Robin Hood arrows at 35 yards consistently and I would trust if they said they dropped the deer. Every time I was thinking "how the frick is this deer still moving? It can't have much blood left". If they would've shot again, who knows, the deer might not have gone far at all.
If it is still moving after 10 seconds, another one is coming flying. I don't frick around

I don't think I've ever seen them take a shot at one running or trotting off after they clearly hit it the first shot.

Phil Robertson rolling that doe on a full sprint was a bad arse shot

That was pretty cool but old Phil is far from a "professional" deer hunter so no fricks given about how he slays dur or fowl. Now Willie, that's another story.

I have to track a lot of deer around my leases. I have statred to tote a shotgun with me for when you jump a wounded one. It will save you a lot of time and sweat.
I shoot deer in the neck if at all possible. They drop in thier tracks. If they have a chance at the wall, I will shoot the heart lung area. They run, even with no heart.
