Im not sure I entirely understand what went wrong? Am I right to say the turret was a full turn out from zero before you then went to dial the 7 MOA to make the shot? I have heard of that happening.
Someone mentioned knowing your clicks from top or bottom to ensure your turret is in fact on zero along with being aligned on the 0 MOA marker on the cap which is a good thing to do. Being given grief for dialling on a "bush gun" and "just use holdover" doesn't really have much to do with it.. Simple mistakes happen no matter what method you use when placed under a certain amount of stress. Just learn from it and be better prepared next time. Bugger about the stag! Be bigger next time you catch up with him.
