Video: Man Misses Trophy Buck 13 Times

We’re going to preface this post by saying that we’re not sure if this video is actually real—we’re not sure if we want to believe that it’s real. According to Justin Finch, who posted the video on Facebook, a shooter fired off 13 shots at a good-sized buck and missed all of them.

“Yes, this really happened. Opening morning after the bigger bucks got away, we spotted this decent buck. After 8 minutes of shooting, and only having 1 bullet left, the buck didn’t even flinch and finally decided he had enough and walked over the ridge unharmed. Needless to say, I was rolling around dieing [sic] with laughter on the mountain!” he wrote online.

Needless to say, a number of hunters were highly critical of the shooter. Some told the person behind the gun to go back to the shooting range, while others scolded the shooter for continuing to fire even after the first few misses. Many simply refused to believe that the video was real.

So what do you think, is this the world’s dumbest buck, or just someone trying their hand at video editing or creative use of a decoy?
