[QUOTE="rswink, post: 3468608, member: 44439"] Today. Here's what happened leading up to it. Well, it had to happen eventually...... Got a bad case this day. The buck I was hoping was on the far side of the woods, called him to me. At 65 yard I took steady aim, fired, missed. He didn't move. Fire again. He didn't move. Fired again, hit over his back in the dirt, but he didn't move. Said to myself, aha, must have bumped the red dot. Aimed about the same amount under him that I went over and I shot where I aimed. Still he didn't move. Shot at him again thinking I must be off today. Aimed, shot the dirt under him. 5 shots, no deer. He decided he didn't like the noise finally so he moved, closer, why would he do that, 35 yards he stopped and looked for his new girlfriend he had been talking to. Big deep breath, aim, relax, squeeze, let it scare you, and high left. So, confused, aim low right, hit between his legs. Aimed over his back, hit a tree. This whole time he never moved, just looking around. 3 more shots, no deer. He moved to a new location, into my shooting lane. I know it is clear, started thinking I was hitting twigs or something. Fired again, between his legs. Aimed dead center and hit in front of him into the dirt past his chest. 2 shots, the magazine was empty. I had no deer. But, still I was upset and confused. I yelled at the deer to fall over dead, he looked my way, let out a blow, and walk away, not run, not troy. He walked away flashing me his tail. Needless to say I went to the rifle range and confirmed what I feared once my heart rate returned to normal, my poor red dot of 10 years faithful service is no more. Next place I can shoot garbage it is meeting a bullet, seems only fair. Oh well, I am still upset about it but was wanting to scope that rifle next year anyway.
