  • I thought 2 reloads would be plenty but not when your scope got bumped and is shooting low! I shot my gun two days before the hunt and it was fine! This is an educational video to show what can happen while hunting and ways to handle it. It's a documentary about Florida deer hunting with muzzleloaders and the downside of primitive hunting.
    ** I do not recommend finishing a deer with a knife if you aren't qualified to do so. Make your own decisions and DONT TRY THIS AT HOME!

    Much respect to you sir! That was hard but you did the right thing. Too many times I’ve seen a horrible shot and the hunter stands there and celebrates while the animal is still in agony. You did it the right way!

      Thank you. There are a lot of tough decisions to make with a bad shot. Sometimes not doing anything and waiting is the best option but if I can stop suffering I will!

    Glad you posted this. Had a similar thing happen to me during archery. Arrow flew weird and hit him in the neck dropping him. Had to get down and put a knife to the heart.
    Felt terrible for the suffering and was just glad I was able to put him to sleep faster.
    Great hunt & great video!

      @@ArcheryCommander Thanks man. I think it's something that everybody goes through eventually if they are lucky enough to get shots at deer. In the moment, it's rough and sad but eventually becomes a story and experience. It's also motivation to check and double check your gear and practice as much as possible!

    I once had a few mallard ducks in my kitchen sink. I was about to start cleaning them. I promise you one of them came alive and started flying around my home.
    I literally had to jump in the air to catch him. Chased the joker around for about 2 minutes. I felt horrible.
    I call it the zombie duck. My best friend was there and witnessed. I think a pellet just barely grazed him and knocked him out cold.
    The hunt doesn’t always go as planned. Nice buck
