Miss 130grain 270 if you ask me by the ground strike
No. Your wrong. .270 owners don't miss.

I am afraid it was a miss. I was behind the camera watching the deer when the shooter (to my right) pulled the trigger and I saw the puff directly behind the deer and was sure it was the hit... But it was .270 lifting very saturated ground behind the deer. As said no reaction to the shot, well you can see all deer flinch at the same time, but the buck is just surprised to see the guy missed
BTW we spent good while searching for the pins and paint anyway, but also saw the deer running up the slope on the other side of the road. It was a nice clean buck too...
How far away is it out of interest?
Did you work out the cause of the miss?
Experienced shooter?
A good illustration of how putting the bullet in the right place is the key- the trajectory and energy of the bullet is irrelevant if you can't direct it
Bugger.. . I heard there was a bottle of whisky for the winner as well
Great video and good fun guessing.
Looked like a clean pass through, I've had quite a few roe well shot who just
ran off in a similar manner... Not so easy to tell on the phone though.
I tried my hand at filming at buck last night but failed miserably.
Do the Highways Agency/ County Councils own the highways?As long as you have the land owners permission it's ok, so that would be the highways agency or county council they don't give us permission around here. Martyn
told yer it was a miss, by the way was the shooter left handed as well, as a matter of interest,atb doug,unless hes reading this it will be fairly long wait, hes not put the answer on utoob yet

The council own the road, footpath + verge to the center of a ditch or hedge etc only in very rare circumstances do the landowners own upto the road.They do not give permission to shoot from the highway and if plod was to drive past i would think you would be on very dodgy ground i personally wouldn't do it and im not saying it was done in this case just be careful.
