Deer Hunting

Filling multiple game tags at one time

Uploaded on April 24, 2009

For animals on the ground i.e. grouse or whitetail deer always shoot the animals in the back first. The animals in the front are probably looking your way and don't know what is happening. If you shoot a front animal first, the ones in the back see everything and are more likely to spook. So far this tactic has enabled me to take multiple grouse with a .22 and multiple whitetail deer with a centerfire rifle.

For big game its primarily for does and the meat hunter. The sound may alert them, but its not as important as the visual confirmation.

I harvested a really nice whitetailed buck this year that was in the rut following a doe in heat. After quickly deciding it was a shooter buck, I shot him first and then took the doe. In this particular situation, the decision was easy to make. All in all, your recommendation seems logical if you are in a situation where you could get more than one shot off.
