Hunting in a large cutover with a .270 so I could shoot faaarrrr. A bad azz buck is being chased by a couple dogs and comes fast, across the holler. The buck is on a course that will take it within 40 yards of me. I wait to shoot, so as to make a good shot on a running deer. Well, I neglected to notice how tall the weeds are, and I also neglect to turn down the power on my scope. As a result, I never get a shot. I would have been better off with a shotgun instead of a flat shooting rifle. If I had been carrying a shotgun with buckshot, instead of a rifle, that buck would be on my wall right now.
