WOW is all I can say

[bearhunter99]

   This is exactly the kind of thing the antis grab a hold of and use to their advantage.  The nonchalant discussion about it just adds icing to the cake.

The guy doesnt even have the skill to cycle his bolt without picking his gun up and moving it 3 feet and holding it vertical,  how does he think hes going to make a 400 yard shot?

I was thinking the same thing. I'm not an expert at rifle shooting techniques, but unless you have just a single shot, I know enough to know you should try not to remove the rifle out of position each time you want to cycle a round for launching, oops I meant shooting. I wonder where the rest of the lead ended up that didn't hit the target?

Wow!!!! A little out of his range.... Pathetic!

Here is a pic of the deer mounted and proudly put on display in his house:

*censored* bags all the way around on this one!

I am much more critical of the no orange and the camera guy than I am of the shooter and how the "hunt" played out.  Sometimes things don't go as planned...its great when they drop on the 1st shot...I would be a hypocrite if I were to chastise this guy for shooting multiple times at an animal and missing many of his shots.  Looks like he had a solid rest and was well within range of the gun and conditions were good for the shot...I have no clue on how much he shot that rifle at longer ranges and I doubt anyone else on here does either.

A week of prairie dog shooting in Montana would help this guy out.

IMO rifle hunting has one similarity to bow hunting. If your going to shoot out to a certain distance you practice out to that distance and dont shoot past it. That was the worst rifle shooting I have ever seen. The bolt cycling made me laugh. I dont know if that guy has ever shot a rifle. One of the worst hunters ever.....

[Griiz]

That is pathetic! No respect for the amazing animals they are hunting. It's stuff like this that gives hunters a bad name. Of course they don't realize this and post it on the web.

[Biggerhammer]

In the end....... Dead is dead.

 I really don't know what the problem is! 
The guy bought a tag went hunting, hunted hard! and shot a well deserved trophy mule deer!! 

 

I hope he got a copy of that awesome hunt!  All caught on video for all to see!

[kentrek]

I wonder how many of us shot at our first deer with the same amount of skill level 

 

[400out]

Not I! nor my partners!

[bobcat]

He was shooting over 400 yards. I doubt many people shoot their first deer at that distance. I've been hunting for 35 years and have yet to try a shot that far. For someone to attempt shots at nearly a quarter mile, they should be competent at that distance, and that takes a lot of practice, which that guy obviously did not have.

[sakoshooter]

Wow. Pathetic display.

  Very pathetic.

[kentrek]

I'm sure the guides on here could let us know how many first timers either...jerk the trigger..rushe a shot...or pull their head before the shot...I know I've made those mistakes before when I was pretty green

Realistically the only distance this guy could have had a sure thing on is bow range (along with many first timers)

Okay  resume the bashing
