[QUOTE="Bigeclipse, post: 889020, member: 52437"] This EXACT thing happened to my wife but with doe. It was her second year hunting with me. She was set-up about 400 yards from me. I suddenly hear 2 shots, and then two more shots. I was confused at what happened. When I went to go look there were two dead doe. When i talked to her, this is what she described. She shot the first doe, looked through her scope and there it was standing so she shot again thinking she either missed or just wounded it. this time she saw the doe fall...BUT when it fell she realised that right behind it was another doe on the ground kicking and flailing(first doe she didnt realise she shot). At this point both doe were shot through the shoulders but still alive so she immediately shot both again(the second round of two shots I had heard.) Both doe were almost exact same size and shape and must have been traveling together. Fortunately we each had a doe managament permit so all was OK legally speaking. I was actually really proud of her(minus the whole two doe thing haha)...the shot on both deer very tight between many trees about 200 yards away from her through medium dense woods. AND to top it off she was shooting off hand out of a stand. Both doe were hit in shoulder on the first shots. Follow-up shots were right in the boiler maker on both deer. Needless to say she is more confident in her shooting and now if she shoots once, unless she is CERTAIN she missed she will not take a follow up shot. Except to put an animal out if it is already down. [/QUOTE]
