What do you tell the game warden?

Trust me on this one, in the courtroom the honest mistake sounds just like the malicious hunter. Everyone says, I didn't mean to do it.

This is true. You get Major fines for these kinds of things around here. Mistake or not you dont have a chance. They label it "criminal hunting activity". They are ruthless on this stuff now in Washington state. I hear montana and other states are getting on the same bandwagon.

We do not know if the video was made in a place where that would be completely legal. If not than it was irresponsible.

Brent, What the heck does legal have to do with irresponsible or not?

For that matter what does that shot have to do with irresponsible period?

I wish I was a saint so I can b%$h about someone dropping 2 critters with 1 freak shot.

I once shot 2 pheasant with one shot. 1 was running down a ditch and when it jumped I fired. There was another pheasant on the hill about 10 yards beyond hiding in the weeds. Dog found both when we walked up. Guess I should just turn in my huntin license right now huh.

Irresponsible if unplanned. If it was intentional it was a heck of a shot. If not than knowing where your bullet may go is irresponsible. I try quite often to "double up" on rabbits, squirrels, doves and crows... Just never had the opportunity presented to do so on deer. One day I might even get 2 fine bucks with one shot... right when they are squaring off to fight over a doe would be sweet!

Brent, I hate to tell you this but it is absolutly impossible for a hunter to KNOW where his bullet is going after it hits a critter. They change direction and predicting it is completely impossible.

From a tree stand shooting at a great angle it is highly unlikely the bullet will change direction and head on out into the great yonder... From the ground I do look beyond my target animal and if I do not have a dense woods, preferably a thick un-navigable swamp unlikely to be used by a hunter I won't shoot. I also use this criteria for setting up in the first place. I have let many pounds of meat walk on to live another day just because they did not enter my preferred shooting area. Like I also said... if planned... cool.... go for it... If there had been a third I wonder if he could have got it too. If he had only one tag, or if limited to one per day he should have passed on the shot.

With my location I am unable to blame any one but myself if I don't get them. I gotta figure out the google earth thing to try to spy on the air force base to spot the terrain where they will be hiding from the lazy hunters... I hope to get in deep enuff to need to camp out there...

Where is that bullet going? It went into another deer this time, maybe another hunter next

That's why you're supposed to know what's in front of your target and what lies beyond it
 
Hit two big tom's last year with one shot. Had no idea the second was there until I walked up on them. Since I was hunting in a three bird county they both went in the freezer.
