I was stalking roe buck up in D&G once. I rested on a stone wall in the forest to watch to my right a roe buck walk behind a self set pine on a bank.
I got ready and as soon as it reappeared all though obscured somewhat l let fly with my 30/30.
What happened next all happened in a blur. The deer I shot dropped but unknown to me and from the same spot a second deer leapt and stopped thirty yards away or so. Thinking it was wounded by me I shot again but when I got there it was a doe?.
I went back and immediately found the buck? ooops.
It happens....
