Luck and shooting at animals don't mix in my world.

I"ve shot a the same running deer 4 times, hit her all 4 times. This in I cna't recall how many deer.

She was wounded is the ONLY reason I considered it, and she was close, as the shots were all with a 3 inch 45 acp in heavy brush as we trailed her.

If you practice moving though and get good I've no issues.

My issues are folks shooting at big bucks especially and on the move, and if you asked... would you attempt the same shot on a doe, the answer is heck no... that bothers me..

Nothign I can do about it though. As long as you are legal, thats all one can push really.
I called it luck because i did not want to sound like i was bragging but luck is when preparation and opportunity meet.
