Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Deer Hunting Article

I got an American Hunter magazine a few days ago. I read an article titled "Hunting the Bully Buck" by Bryce M. Towsley. It included this description of the hunt's conclusion:

"With the swirling snow, he merged in and out of focus like a ghost running through a foggy night as I swung my muzzleloader up and tried to get the crosshairs ahead of him. Just before he crested the top of the hill, only feet from where I would lose him forever, the sights found their home and I pulled the trigger. The big Barnes slug hammered him as only a .52-caliber can and he instantly hit the ground, skidding through a deep snowdrift before stopping. That threw a huge amount of white powder into the air and the tailing wind grabbed it instantly and whisked it away in a cloud that looked for all the world like his soul leaving his body and moving on to what's next."


Yeesh. That is truly awful.

He must have been paid by the word and not by the content.

If I wrote the article, it probably would have said - "he was going like a bat out of hell when I pulled up my Remington GameMaster 760 and jacked three rounds into his chest.
He crumpled and fell like a old sack of potato's."
