The best post! At least the OP had the stones to admit he screwed up a shot. I think almost anybody who has actually hunted and hunted for several years has made bad shots or shots that were rushed, missed or even had a wounded loss. Most will never admit it. I applaud anybody that does. I did some of the most piss poor shooting this year at my elk. In the end, I hit him a little off my point of aim but still dropped him where he stood. The wind was worse that I had judged in not only speed but how it was being funneled in different areas by the lay of the land. I didn't have the time to set up calmly and really analyze the wind. The bulls caught our scent and came boiling out of the timber headed for the horizon. With the bull of my dreams with in my comfortable range, I laid down, ranged him, dialed, gave my best guess on the wind on the fly, held off using the mil marks and let her rip. I missed clean. My guide would call the range and hisbest guess on the wind. This went on for a few shots until my guide saw where I hit. He stopped at 598, I readjusted for the windbased on my guides response and dropped him with the next shot. Thanks , my first shot hit so I was committed, and when that happens that is where my tag goes . If I didnt find him and kill him my hunt would have been over. I hunted I found , I shot , and I hunted some more, I shot again and kilt him. Not pretty , but done. I have never lost an animal that I have shot , except some yotes. Was it a questionable shooting opportunity? At my first assessment of the situation, I didn't think so. In hind sight, I believe so. Why did I continue to shoot? I guess because a shot was taken and I hate giving up on anything. The bull I wanted was in front of me, I was already set up and it's human frickin nature to keep shooting until you hit your target. Right or wrong, it was the heat of the moment and it all happened so fast. I wasn't in the 'let's reason this out' mode where common sense would have said it was time to let it go and was full throttle shoot mode focused on the task at hand. Like az_shooter said "Don't let anybody tell you how to eat your pie, it's yours, dig in".

I appreciate the link, thanks. This is one of about 12 deer kills . I have several other rifles and I am not new to hunting. I posted this just to make the point and circumstances of a questionable shot. I succeeded in recovering the animal luckily without it being buzzard meat. Thanks

I dont give a flying **** if you apologies or not. You are reading way to much into this. You are correct I am not a guy that plays computer all day and am not real savvy on linking. Post your opinion if you want. I dont care.

the adjustments were made, but obviously not spot on The technology is available that will give you the exact adjustments that are necessary in any condition to make almost any shot under any condition You are absolutely correct. There is always the factor of human error. I am human and I had an error, but recovered the animal. Thats why I posted this .

I do not know what you are referring to , my son filmed this . I'm not looking for any opinionsand dont know much about youtube opinions. Its layed out as it is. I could have shot again at 313 yards. I chose to dispatch the deer when I did. The shot was deadly within two minutes. Ever bow hunted?

Far from me , but I think you will get some help here. Good luck.

I dont think it is a matter of being concerned. I think this is the wrong site for that. Good luck with your endeavors.

"It is not really ment to be kkk necessarily". That doesnt make much sense either. You kids gotta watch what you do on the internet, there is a chit storm almost every day on the news. Facebook, twitter , and what ever the heck else people post things on. You post the wrong thing, you may regret it for a looooongggg time.

The last pic was deleted by someone, this one should go away also. I am not an obama fan or a liberal. Think before you post things on the web.
