Trees live where tame deer live also, are you going to be ok??

Great post, you didn't kill anything yet the greenies will still be upset.

Well done Dorkus. I am new to this gun walking game too. Me, I am a bigger idiot than you because I got out of bed at 5am yesterday it was pissing down so went back to bed. Got out of bed later to find the weather was just light showers for most of the day. Wish I had just gone and done it, 5 days at work now then 1 day off. Life's just not fair. You shot a tree I didn't even see a tree. Life's a bitch then you die. Thinking of turning vegan, can you drink beer when your vegan. Next time aye, next time.

EH been there done that, except I was in a relatively open gully with the only cover between me and a sika spiker being a branch about 1m in front of me, scope was looking right over it, clear as day

Haha yet to happen to me but most likely will one day. Touch wood

Happened to me last roar....got the stag though !

Most of us have taken out a tree or two over the years nothing to be worried about, at least you were out there trying Good write up Keep it up.

The best red stag I have ever seen on foot, ran off unharmed because I shot a tree I didn't notice in line with his front leg.

Projectile smacked through the middle and exited at right angle. I put my rifle down to one side of the tree while I inspected it and abused myself.
When I picked it up, I found the projectile sitting on the leaf litter under where I placed the rifle.

Still have it on my reloading bench. That was 2007. It still hurts to think about it.😆

Yip done this also many years ago not once but twice, once on a sika but only a hind and the other on a red spiker on a slip in the distance and l didn’t pick up a branch in the scope that was 300mm in front of the barrel missed both deer.
