This guy can be the next American Sniper, no not likely. Ok maybe he's just having a bad day. A very bad day. Maybe he's experimenting a bent barrel, or using a lighter grain ammo.
Amazingly, the buck barely moves in between misses. The range is unknown, but it must be a long shot. You are also able to see the bullet's vapor trail on the video.
One would think after several rounds of misses, the hunter would make some adjustments or Kentucky wind it. Goes to show how difficult precision long-range shooting can be, with many factors to account for such as swirling winds and the inconsistencies in ammunition. Ok, would you have missed this shot no matter what the range was? See the video here.
The video seems a bit sktechy to me, but the the headline should read “Thirteen” times.
Isn’t there a legal limit as to number of rounds loaded into hunting rifle?
3 or 5 rounds?
(Irrespective of rifle capacity)
Maybe the guy should try fishing?
Varies from state to state, but generally either 5 or 10 rounds.
3 rounds is a federal limit for waterfowl.
This happens to me all the time, but with squirrels ten feet in front of me on my deck. With BB gun.
Bad hunter.
You save your shot for when you are sure of a clean kill.
Dat dere’s a good film, eh?

It used to happen to me all the time with me 22 trying to get rid of the squirrels that were getting into my attic..
But my 410 circuit judge took care of them
(before my tragic boating accident)
Watch the video, it’s not three times, it’s thirteen.
The video is totally and absolutely fake. I can tell you 100% that there is no deer in the world that would stand there like that, stupid
The video is spliced. Dead time between shots is cut out.
Who says you don’t need a high capacity magazine for deer hunting?
Is this guy (1) A lousy shot? (2) Rifle not sighted-in or has poor accuracy? (3) Not using a rangefinder? (4) Bad ammo?
I wonder how much practice he has shooting from such a steep angle - takes getting used to when one shoots up or down a steep gradient. Most of his shots were probably over a foot long.
Yeah I had a steep downhill shot one time I missed 5 straight shots, he surely did not stand that still for me between shots... I have made that part of practice routine when I go sight my rifle, it takes a huge adjustment.
