I took my 74 year old dad and another older mate on a hunting trip over the weekend, getting them both back into hunting after long breaks for various reasons.
My stumpy 284 saw some more action, with two more deer and several goats falling to it.
Heres a short video of one of them, I had offered the shot to dad initially, but after he couldnt get steady enough and ended up breathing on the scope and fogging it up he told me i had better take the shot.

Why didn't it fall over straight away? ??

Tough little lass :D
Probably didn't know what had hit it
haha, yeah i hit her just behind the shoulder, in hindsight should have aimed at front of shoulder due to the slight angle.Quote:

I've seen delayed kills quite often with Fallow 'cos I think their little bodies don't put up much resistance to a lung shot that doesn't hit bone.
Hard case how it reacted alright but you knew it was going nowhere fast but down. Great times out with your Dad I bet he loves it also.
Cool shooting (and video) mate, I had a similar experience with my 264 and the 300 wsm on Sika and fallow does. Stand there wagging the tail with a WTF!? look on the face then down for the count...
With a 243 yeah, but not a 284:PQuote:
