Disgusted!

[Bill M]

Yesterday morning I was sitting in my office and heard 5 shots. I should have went out after the second to pinpoint the location but really didn't expect to hear more than two. They came from either my next door neighbor or the one across the road.

Fast forward to this morning. About 30 minutes ago I looked out my back garage window across the pond and saw a buck standing there. I could see a dark disfigured spot on the inside of his right front leg. When he turned around his shoulder was just dangling and almost totally disconnected. He also had a second wound across the front of his neck. I went to get my rifle and called the GW while going there. He gave me permission to put it down as I had already killed my 13+ buck this year.

I'm making a huge assumption I understand about the 5 shots and this buck. It only makes sense though. Makes me sick to my stomach to see things like this. If a person can't control a firearm better than this, lay it down and back away. You have no business shooting at these animals.

GW told me I could keep it but not to tag. If I needed anything for processing he would give me the necessary form.

It's sad to see. I don't think it matters whether it was with a gun or rifle. It was at least ethical of him to let you put it down and keep the meat.

Keegan I'm assuming you meant bow or rifle. I'm didn't mean to infer I was bashing gun hunters, it's the apparent inexperienced and/or un-practiced person behind the weapon of choice.

Unfortunately by the time I got outside he had gone back toward the neighbor I believe responsible. Hopefully someone will put him down or I'll get another chance later today.

well i understand your frustration but you werent in the blind with them when this all went down.....hopefully it was a good idea gone bad and he put the other shots in the air trying to correct the situation....anyhow, hope someone puts it down asap

Buck fever is a powerful feeling. I hate to say it but I have missed a buck 4 times and I would probably still be shooting at him if I had some more shells that day. I was just lucky my shots were way off and didn't wound that buck. It happens. Hopefully you will get a chance to put him down though. No animal deserves to suffer.

Well said, but some obviously only make perfect shots everytime.

Buck fever is a powerful thing. I've seen several come in to the skinning pole with less than ideal shots on them and I know the guys that pulled the trigger can shoot and are far from idiots and/or retards

Good job on putting him down,

He said the deer was gone before he could get a shot.

Sorry I brought it up fellas, I still get buck fever myself but still disgusts me. Carry on.

nothing to be sorry about.......at least you tried to do the right thing

Not sorry about trying to do the right thing, sorry about people finding this acceptable due to buck fever, not being "in the moment" so to speak, etc.
