I posted the following and recieved the response following it: # # My technique is to keep shooting until it the deer stops running... # # I shot at my first buck 5 times, and watched the little forkie trot away ------- above passage COULD EASILY be taken the wrong way. You mention shooting until the deer drops and then how you shot at your first buck 5 times. It is easy to draw the conclusion that you are one of the people I go to great lengths to avoid when I'm out hunting. ------- Well, I guess I should have used a :-) with that post. (And to think I gave Tim grief over his grouse posting... never again). Anyway, I am an Oregon Safe Hunter and have been since I was nine. I have never seen an accident in 20 years of hunting... although I have missed a few shots... Please keep this newsgroup going with an open forum!
