[QUOTE="g0cherr, post: 1305499, member: 22133"] This has been a great read. My dad missed a nice 3 point buck last fall on a day it rained hard most of the morning. He had just worked himself out of a reprod thicket to see the buck standing broadside at just 75 yards. He was able to get a solid rest on a tree and the shot felt perfect, but he said the buck didn't react on the shot. While he was reloading, the buck just trotted off to safety. We were able to track him in the wet ground easily for a long distance but no blood or signs of injury. Afterwards we shot the rifle to check POI and the first shot was off 6", the second shot came back into the target but not back to original POI. We suspected the moisture but now you all have confirmed it. Thank you [/QUOTE]
