I'll bet not only my house but my neighbor's house that your rifle and your shot were dead on but you just picked up the wrong deer in your scope.
That can easily happen.

How was his shot "dead on" when he hit the little buck in the rear end?

I went back to read it again, I see that now.
The rifle is probably a little off from the off season but I'll bet dollars to donuts when he went from his eyes to his scope he picked up the wrong deer. Or someone really gave that scope a smack to knock it off.

My Leupold is a variable, but I had it set on 4x. I could see both bucks in my sight picture and they weren't lined up...Geo

Mike- The picture showing a walk in the woods with a friend are just beautiful.
You and I hunted together in NE for Prairie Chickens many years ago when your passion was first indulged.
Glad to see you are still out there and going after it.
Time waits for no man.
Your reference to prairie chickens (which I chased with Steve Voss in SE Nebraska for a number of years) threw me off- there were a few others that occasionally joined us, but I couldn't place you. Mr Voss clarified that it was the Sandhills for sharpies, and I knew instantly of whom he spoke: Greg with the GSP not afraid of porcupines! You made the best coffee on the planet, and had an amazing upland bird chasing rig and a fascinating employment situation. I really enjoyed your recounting of a serious conversation you had with your daughter, and have often wondered over the years what happened to you. Glad to see/hear you are well.

Mike, Cocoa's "I ain't touching that mistake you just shot" reaction to the woodcock isn't uncommon among bird dogs used to quail. James, Scout appears to have a bird pinned down in the photo. Who missed that bird?  Gil Gil, going back over this topic I noticed your unanswered question, and found the picture I think you reference. If it is the one showing James and the two dogs on a two track, I'm afraid the answer is rather ignoble: I believe this is the start of the hunt for the day, and as dogs do at the time, Scout is finishing processing the dog food from the day before.
