Admirable way to handle it! The second buck to leave is a true bruiser!

That's pretty good shooting also when you consider that the bullet is most likely somewhat lower than the crosshairs at that distance.

Exactly what I was thinking... That would be a trick to pull off, especially off hand with those bucks thrashing around. GREAT SHOT!

That was very interesting.
Being that close was quite a risk IMHO.
I would have figured the buck that lost an antler would have been stunned.
If the honorable sportsman would have been in that bucks path, it would have been hard to react and get clear, again just MHO.

I have heard of deer being knocked out when their rack was hit by a bullet, surprising that this deer could hop up and run.
