Thread: Really bad hunting situation

Hmmm. He had time to either get out his reloading gear, select a heavier projectile, use more powder and reload the spent cartridge or grab a rock and make a flint knife to cut its throat.

Dog must of been pissed off after delivering it right to the Hunter's feet.

This would definitely be something I'd shoot with iron sights but something I hope I'd not shoot with a scope. That first shot did look lethal though. Those truely are mighty beasts to be able to get back up from that sort of injury.
I'd have asked the guy holding the camera to 'pretty please delete that'....

p.s not bagging him personally (with the glorious benefit of hindsight) - just wanted to get the general consensus of what people think of of extremely close shots like this. Lots of fellas have told me that they shoot most of their deer within 50m. I'm really not sure why iron sights aren't more popular as they'd be better and much safer for these types of shots.

Are there many guys who prefer Iron over glass?

Depends where I am hunting to which I prefer but generally its scoped. One time I nailed a yearling looking down the side of the barrel at 10m cause didn't think I would hit it using the scope. That guy could of put another shot in but he must have his reasons why he didnt which ever they may be.

Fuck that was on like Donkey Kong. I would have shot it foreshore, then capped that stupid fuckin pot licker, then given the moose a second.
All I saw was a huge pile of sausages writhing around on the ground, then running away.

He has a pretty stupid look on his face too. If I was him, the first bloke to get the Jake Heke uppercut would be his mate for posting it online

ba ha ha ha ha hah ha ha ha hah ha hah hahhah hahahahahahahahahahahah

I have never shot anything bigger than a small goat but something that big, trying to scope it, then waiting around for what ? You can tell if the beast still has life left in it, so throw down another shot .
I would really like to see what the mooses take on this one was, I would like to hear what he has to say.
