Thread: Poor bugger

A couple of decades ago I shot a three legged deer in the Southern Kaimanawas. Was in reasonable condition for January, despite having a front leg missing from the knee down. Shot off. Breaking it down on site I discovered a .308 bullet buried in a hind quarter, coming in from about 45% from above. So almost certainly shot from a chopper. I'd like to see a human survive and thrive hit with two .308 rounds I would have thought it a lot easier to deliver a follow up shot from above, than from a static ground based hunter.
