Got that on another forum, thought I'd share with you guys.

Great shooting, these 2 are good for a headache

Cool. Very sporting of him I must say. Kind of like not shooting a duck on the water.

 

[beefman]

Nice shootin...that would be a terrible way to die.

 

[Silverado]

That's incredible. A one in a million shot.

 

[ronecol]

Almost as unbelievable as the shot is some of the comments that were posted in response...

It's worth following PaulT's link and reading the thread not just watching the video.

A super video to spread around to all the anti hunters and anti gunners!

He says "they don't deserve to die that way" after the shot.
A great hunter and sportsman indeed!

That's incredible. A one in a million shot.

What? Hitting a 1" antler at 10 yards is one in a million? Put down the SKS bro!

 

[bear.23]

although the shot was by no means incredible.. I applaud the gentleman who did it...

Not sure I would have wanted to get that close to a couple of fighting bucks..

 

[weldboss]

Very good shooting. Off hand to boot.

 

[ranger_dave]

Nice shot!

Sadly a lot of deer die that way. Great that these ones didn't have to.

Seen this video a couple years ago. Just by shooting into the mesh of antler, it is more likely than not he would hit something.

 

[hansol]

Cool video, but wow, some of those comments are unbelieveable... Those Yanks sure take their religion to another level...

 

[dannymat]

No doubt that it was a good thing to do

But those guys could have filled 2 tags with some nice deer right there.

Yes they shed and grow back every year

Absolutely. The following spring, that one deer would have grown a new set of antlers, and every spring since.
