I was out hunting with a few friends 15 years ago , they were up hunting for a week and I live here. Needless to say ask me to help get them a deer to take home , no problem! So I take them to this spot I knew well and put one guy at the bottom of a ridge and take the other guy with me to push deer off the top. Shortly after reaching the top , I heard a noise , twigs snapped . It was about 15 yards away ,there is one I said, up with my 30-06 and shot ! The deer stumbled then ran down the ridge, now at the bottom of hill I only had a ass shot. I asked my friend if he had a better shot ( I don't like to ruin the meat) he said yes he shot 2 times , said it ran up over the next hill . So we walk down ridge meeting up with 2 friend who was this friends dad. The dad says , by the sounds he heard the first shot hit the next 2 missed . We told him the story and all agreed I shot the deer , his son missed ! we walk to where I saw deer last . It is dead one bullet hole in it.
Once we get a look at this deer we see that it has a huge rack , tall , heavy , 13 points total. Biggest one I have shot to date.
Anyways , with in 24 hours after deer was shot , the story changed ! It was now that when they skinned the deer they found a fragment of a bullet and it was not from my gun !!
I am sure I am not the only one this kind of thing has happened to !
