You guys won’t believe this!

Me and my Dad went hunting yesterday at 1:00 pm which is said to be the worst time to start hunting. We sat on a mountain for a few hours and then finally some deer showed up. One of them was a spike and the other was just weird. The weird one had one normal antler and it’s other antler was a spike. A doe was with them. We waited patiently for what seemed like thirty minutes or possibly another hour. Then my Dad sees another buck and tells me to get down behind the log where we were sitting. The sound of footsteps kept getting closer and closer. My Dad fired a shot with his Muzzle Loader. I thought he was crazy because I didn’t see what he was shooting at. That same deer that he saw was stupid enough to walk up to him a second time after he reloaded. My dad fired a second time and then it walked out of site. My dad then asked me to shoot it with my shotgun. I told that I didn’t see it so he told me to walk to his position. I did, then I saw the buck just standing there in the distance. I shot it , then it fell to the ground and started trying to crawl away on its front legs. I shot it again and it still kept crawling. I then shot it a third time in the spine. Me and my Dad then walked up close to it. It was still alive and I asked my dad if I could stab it with my knife instead of wasting another bullet. He then told me to shoot it again so I did. It was helpless and it could to nothing but turn its head and open it’s mouth to try to breath. It took 6 gunshots total to kill that 8 point buck. We had to drag that deer out of the woods in the dark because the sun was going down fast when we shot it. Then my dad left to get the game cart after we got to a dirt road. I was alone in the woods and the dark and I could hear coyotes howeling. Then I heard some animals walking near my position. I could tell that my situation could get very dangerous so I loaded my shotgun and waited for a coyote or possibly a bobcat to pop out of the bushes. Fortunately my Dad got back with the game cart so we strapped the deer to it and left.

Shooting a buck for SPORT? Heartbreaking story.

When I was 12, my Uncle had rabbits which he (we) ate once in a while. Maybe 3 or 5 times per year. And he always did something useful with the pelts. It was such a cute animal, but this time I was assigned the task of killing it – by breaking it’s neck with my own hands.

I couldn’t do it. I was completely incapable of it.

… until he explained to me that we are not just “killing it”. It is feeding us and we will be using it for something we need. So I killed a living thing with my bare hands. It was a very humbling thing and a valuable lesson.

Did you learn anything from your story? Because it reads like a botched murder.

If you keep doing what you've always done... you're gonna keep getting what you always got.

Im not a vegan but shooting wild animals just for the fun of it is just cruel and useless.

I dont have a problem to raising animals and killing them for meat but to go out and killing an animal for fun is just silly.

Same. That’s wasting some prime venison (or whatever animal(s) you hunt for sport) meat.

I loved getting out in Arizona backcountry and shoot for jackrabbit or quail. Those damn things turn so quickly and are so fast it’s actually a feat to kill one with a low power bb rifle.

Just to clear up this misunderstanding, I don’t kill animals just for the fun of it. I do it for the food, and I eat everything I kill (including coytes). The reasons why we shot that deer so many times is because my dad isn’t a very good shot and that deer was very tough. Was it heartbreaking that it suffered? Absolutely, but the important thing is that we got enough deer meat to last till next season, and if it makes you guys feel any better ,all of the other deer that I have killed only took one shot and they didn’t suffer.

This is probably the manliest f~~~ing coming of age story I’ve ever heard in my life.

@ J.D Silvernail, sorry to hear that kill went ugly. It reminded me of the time I shot a squirrel with a CO2 pistol, unloaded it on him, the damn thing just wouldn’t die, I had to drown it in a bucket of water! I know it sounds cruel, but I just wanted to end the suffering, so I resorted to drowning it, two or three gulps of water, it stopped moving and it was over. Nothing kills an animal faster than a shot behind the ear into the brain stem, or through the heart, which reminds me of the crow I dropped of the power line, what a shot! It fell over backwards and straight down, dead as a door nail.
Other than that, I have a fine cutlery and skinning kit, I was going to slaughter Borg goats, but they were too friendly and started acting like the dogs, so now I’m in the process of getting milk goats and making cheese.
Ever have snapping turtle soup? delicious!!!

The Coyote jerkey that I made was pretty good. The only thing that wasn’t good about it was the fact that it was as hard as a rock.

If your dad isn’t a good shot, he should practice some more to avoid misshaps like this. I definitely support hunting animals for food, but if you don’t know how to kill them quickly and cleanly, then just avoid it until you get better. Your dad should definitely do this.

I am not at all upset by the fact you killed a deer…as you said, you will end up eating it. But the way you went about this kill was distasteful.

The next time you get a buck in your sights, and you know for a fact that you have a kill, just pause for a moment and take your finger off the trigger. You owe a hunter’s debt that needs to be payed by letting the next one go.

It seems curious to that so many assumed you were doing it ‘for SPORT’ and not for the meat.
