2 Deer. One shot. UHH OHHHHHH!!!!!!!

looking at where the 2nd deer was standing when they shot the closer one, it's not that surprising what happened
 
Who could have guesed that? The deer weren't lined up or anything. One was way above from the camera angle. Was the shooter at ground level? (Much lower than the camera thus putting the two deer in the same plane).
Crazy!

I thought the same thing. I bet the shooter was much lower and anxious as hell to make the shot, thus not paying attention to the deer behind.

Stupid mistake.

It's the age old law of ammo. Know your shot and beyond. ALWAYS shoot as if your shot will keep traveling in that direction. You are criminally responsible for where it ends up.

this I know...but I still would like to know how common it is for the bullet to travel through and exit the others side of the deer. I would gather it would depend on the bullet speed/weight, but let's assume you're using a cartridge and bullet agreeable to the animal you're hunting, say 30-30, .303 British or .308 with a 150 or thereabouts, grain bullet?
 
Depends more if it's FMJ or a "softnose". I don't think travelling through is a desirable trait, cause you're wasting energy that should be going into the first animal. Or so I've been told.

That depends on shot angle, and bullet construction, but if it were a broad side shot on a deer with even a cup and core bullet and the cartridges you mention, more often than not the bullet would exit.
 
Sorry Mr Friendly i thought that's what u were looking for.

I am a fan of softer bullets. They deliver all or most of thier energy into the target. FMJ are better for longer shots as they are more accurate due to the fact that they don't warp as much in the barrell. If i were going to make the perfect shot it would have to mushroom up and stop 3/4 of the way through the freezer food.:)
