    These videos have to be from a guy who only bore sights.

    Damn deer was blocking my angle on that rabbit. It's always rabbit season.

    Judging by the camera zoom, it looks like he is in pretty close. Not quite sure how someone can miss with a gun and a scope.

    To top it off he didn't even compensate from one shot to the next, admittedly, he would have been aiming in the dirt to compensate for that first shot. lol

    :jaw:Ok that was interesting... Miss the big deer, but hit a little tiny rabbit. For the sake of the shooter, I'll call the rabbit collateral. But then he, or she, misses again in the same place! I would say moonshine and rifle's don't mix but they probably wouldn't have "missed" the same spot twice.:lol:

    I don't think so. The sound of that rifle was WAY too big to be intentionally hunting rabbits. And he reloaded and fired again. I say that's one of the luckiest bucks in history!

    At least they are Dead On! They hit the same spot twice! Just about 2 Feet High and 2 Feet Left!! Sounds like they were standing on the roof of the stand with all the noise they were making! HORRORS!!

    Theres no reason to assume he had a rifle and a scope... maybe he had a handgun.

    Regardless, If you are shooting that bad or are that far off being sighted in, then you shouldn't be hunting.
