[QUOTE="CMP70306, post: 2953311, member: 36999"] No great loss, the coyote was the only one that annoyed me, the .45 Colt deer was small and the other one jumped out of the brush into the open where there were no branches to stop the second bullet. In 20 years of hunting those are the only three instances I’ve had of branches/tree deflecting bullets. The funniest ones I have ever seen both happened to the same guy. Both times he was shooting at deer on a drive, the first time the neighbor showed up after we finished for the day and gave him a sapling about 4” in diameter that the guy center punched with no chance of making it to the deer. The second time I walked up to him at the end of the drive after he shot 3 times. He was about 10 ft up the hill from me and as I was talking to him about where he shot I noticed that three different 1” saplings 5 feet in front of him had a bullet hole on the left side of them. Needless to say with a 50 to 70 yard shot he had no chance of being on target with a soft point .270. [/QUOTE]
