Yeah, had an experience once, a good mature 8 pointer just outside the ears on one exciting cold November morning of the rut. I was ground blind hunting a fence row looking down a hill next to the woods, I grunted in a deer, shot him, could not tell where he went going down the hill. Felt pretty good about the shot, but it happened pretty quick and I turned him on a grunt for the shot. About 20-30 minutes later got up to go find the deer, saw him off to my right on th eother side of the woods about 80 yards out and took another shot at him free standing. After going to look further, it turned out to be 2 different 8 pointers, both outside the ears. One a 3 1/2 year old the other a 4 1/2 year old. Both were no more than 60 yards apart where I found them.

There was a guy out in Idaho a couple of years ago who was Elk hunting. He was a judge or local politician or something like that. I read in in the paper and don't really know all of the specifics. Anyways he sees a bull elk and shoots. It ran into the thick timber for a second and re-appeared. He shoots again and It dropped. He walked down to tag the elk and there lay TWO bulls.

He did turn himself in, I'm not sure what they did to him.

Be carefull out there boys and girls. This could happen to anybody.

Not comparing the original post to this guy it just reminded me of the story.

On a night shoot a few years back we drove up on a group of deer. We only shot anterless so I started right to left identifying the deer first. All does, I started right to left again except this time the .338 Win Mag was barking. I was trying it out before my elk hunt. When teh gun was empty there were 4 deer on the ground in about 15 seconds.

BTW, this was a legal night hunt using damage permits. We notified the county sheriff prior to starting the hunt, had the proper permits, and did not waste the meat.

One season, I accidently shot two deer with one shot. I had an anterless tag plus a bonus deer tag with me. Well I saw a very nice Doe, while hunting on the ground, and shot her with my 12 gauge slug. Down she went, so I walked ove to field dress her; at that time I got over to her I saw some more blood further up from where the Doe lay, so I followed the blood and found a second Deer. It was smaller so I figured it was her fawn for that year. I went ahead and taged both and check them in, but I sure felt bad about what happen as I didn't even see the second Deer when I shot the first.

Never had that happen to myself. I am picky about my shots. If I feel there's a chance I might screw up and harm another animal or person with my shot I don't take it. I can see how it happens though, especially if you have a group of deer, not just a lone deer.

The closest I get to that would be one of the kids at camp that is 2 years younger than me killed a tree and a doe at the same time once. He thought the doe was behind the 6inch tree and he shot the tree blowing a hole in it and somehow managed to kill the doe standing on the other side of the tree. Looked like he shot her with buckshot, not a rifle, and it left a lot of splinters in her wound, not to mention a pretty nice sized hole in the tree. We still razz him about that at camp to this day.
