Thread: hunting incompetence

I shot two reds about 300m from my house (thats auckland by the way! not bad for the big smoke) about a week ago. first two shots put em both on the ground.
Thought I was doing pretty well until the second one got up and staggered around a bit, I thought he was going to make a getaway and suffera slow death somewhere where I could not find him. So I lined up another shot and as I closed the bolt the shot went off I was pretty excited by that point and must have touched the trigger early.
That left me with two more rounds to finish him off, I proceeded to shoot near him with the last two.

So my great start turned a bit embarrassing once the tally of two shots/two deer morphed into five shots/two deer....

Anyone else I tell about this will just get the two shots/two deer part of the story
