I was swapping some deer hunting stories with some friends (over a few golden pops with the foam on top) and remembered one of my strangest kills.
I once shot a doe (while bowhunting) that heard my string release. Well, as she looked towards the noise while trying to wheel away, my arrow went up her left nostril and embeded about a third of the way up the arrow shaft. She dropped to the ground, started using her front paws to pull the arrow, and died in about 15 seconds. I didn't know exactly what had happened until I walked over to her. I couldn't believe it.

I was going to limit this to whitetails but, I guess a freak shot is a freak shot regardless the animal.

So the question is:
Have you ever had a shot that left you thinking I can't believe that just happened and by all means please tell the story?
