I can hardly believe the guy meant to do that. I'm certainly impressed by the sportsmanship!

At 8m, how far below your point of aim is your bullet?

He probably put the cross hairs exactly where he wanted to hit.

Try it. Does not work with my rifle.

I would say it would work for 95% of scoped hunting rifles. If your sighted in for 200 + yards

 

[Why not?]

Depending on how high your scope is mounted, the bullet will hit a bit more than an inch low.

Great shot! But even greater was the intent to free the bucks from a horrible death. I hope a lot of anti-hunters get to see this vid. I've always believed that true hunters are the greatest conservationists.

Wow some of the comments on the you tube site are brutal. They obviously don't all realize that he saved both the deer. Good deed there for sure.

 

[scruffee]

Great shot!! hopefully both survived and will live until the next season

 

[bcsteve]

Nice shot! That wa pretty cool.

Pretty close for me as well. My point is that the shooter either got lucky, or knew where his rifle would hit at many different distances as it would be easy to miss an antler even if the crosshairs were bang on. I like to think it was the latter.

 

[Canadian Bush Wacker]

Kudo's to the shooter, wise thinking to free them, here some dicks would go for two for one shot and do the tags, and then bragg about it,

I can hardly believe the guy meant to do that.

I bet he was trying for a head-shot

So long as the beam was vertical in his cross hairs, his only concern would be drift left or right.

But as others have said, I'd hold dead on too.

Great shot and even better deed.


Find me one tree hugger with a better solution, YOU CAN'T

You can always tell a true hunter buy ther actions.there is definitly a difference between hunting and killing ,but it is hard to explain to some people.nice job !!!!!!
