WOW!!!!! Did you notice that the bullet hit in the same place all three times. Looks like he had some range time rezeroing the scope. The way I look at it if I missed a neck shot the first time and had another shot I'd go for the body.

Sounded more like a war zone than a deer hunt. At the end of the video did that guy really say "Gosh"? I am sure that is not the word I would have used at that moment

I wander how far away the deer was. It sounds like a lever action rifle was being used. Maybe a 30-30, 32, or 35. If the distance was under 150 yards this guy better quit hunting or get some serious shooting instruction.

Maybe he bumped his scope. This is why I always get a see through mount so I can drop back to irons. Funny vid non the less. That buck must have been petrified with fear to stand there that long or rut plain stupid.

I think the shooter is leading the deer (shotgun style). I've never shot at a running deer, but I'm told you aim at the hair on its chest (broadside) or just a few inches ahead of that spot.

Even with a gun that's not sighted in; I bet I could nail that deer after that many shots. Me thinks the missing was intentional.

If it wasn't so funny...

I would be disappointed for the guy. That was a nice buck.
