I'll start the ball rolling

I've shot 5 deer so far in my short hunting career (3yrs) and i've shot all of them in the neck!

Were you aiming at the neck each time?

Mostly aimed at the head.
They've all been taken in the bush and my Tikka's zeroed in @ 100m, and the greatest distance i've shot a deer is 20m max.

Found a campsite in the Waioeka's with a carved board which read "Tim & Micks new roar camp", but on the back was carved "Brokeback". I swear I could hear banjo's playing.!!

The small ones are ok 308 but watch out when they grow up. Need to hide ya grog.

Many years ago a mate and I were duckshooting, my mate dropped a parrie and its mate came circling back low and slow. Mate fires and misses but we both watched the wad go out and harmlessly bounce off the flying bird as if in slow mo. We both agreed we'll probably never see that again!

I watched my son shooting myna birds in our olive trees shoot one but two fell out.
This is the same kid that wasted me at clay birds first time he used a shot gun, I see a pattern emerging here
