The reason your gun didn’t go off the first time was because your bolt was up and not closed. The gun won’t fire with the bolt in the up position- definitely not a straight up misfire. Thankfully you got a second chance at him. Thanks for sharing this video as it’s a great video to share. Many people assume they miss if they cannot find blood and this is great proof that they don’t always bleed even with near perfect shots. Thankfully you had some snow and video to help confirm that you hit him. 100% certainty that he was hit with that reaction to the shot and how he was running off. Always put in the extra time to search. That happens more often than people think!! Congrats to you on a great buck!

Hey, Crowley. Congratulations to you AND Eric for harvesting good bucks before time ran out on us here in Maine. I passed on a smallish six-pointer in my field, and nothing big ever showed up. Are you by any chance using the breed of rifle cartridges that have a plastic insert in the tip of the bullet? I've read the on-line entries of several hunters who have had expansion and blood-trail problems with such ammo (though plenty of other people think these bullets perform just fine). I just thought I'd mention it. Ditto your misfire problem. Many years ago, when I had this issue with my Remington 600 .308 carbine, I assumed it was the ammo. But just for the heck of it, I asked a gunsmith to check the firing pin. Sure enough, he said there was just enough wear to cause an occasional misfire. Stay warm this winter! Chris

First time I’ve ever had a miss fire with rifle ammunition in 40 years.

I had a misfire once on a buck that was charging me after using a grunt call. I’d seen the buck move into the swamp. I slipped on the snow and fell going down over the bank into the swamp and didn’t realize the bolt was jarred up when I hit. I grunted, waited a bit and grunted again waited and the third time I heard crashing to my left, turned to look and there he was running at me with his head down. I remember my jaw dropping open and then thinking I better shoot ! I took aim and “click”. Pulled the trigger again and “click” again. At that point he realized it was me and turned and ran about 70 yards away and stopped and all I could see was his neck. I chambered another shell and aimed at his neck, shot 3 times and missed before he ran off for good. I couldn’t believe what had happened. I decided I’d better check the scope before doing anymore hunting and sure enough it also had been knocked off when I fell. Now I look back on it and laugh and say “good for him !”

This year I planted a summer soil builder mix, (the sorghum was the only thing that survived the heavy browse pressure.) Also planted clover and rye which held up ok. The plot was all wooded. Cleared by hand with just hand tools. Lots of work but it was worth it. Happy holidays.

Sorghum or Japanese millet may work better if you could plant it separately on the side with less moisture. The deer will leave it alone until those seed heads ripen. If you can get it separately I’d try planting buckwheat along there after your last frost. Just top seed right before a rain. If that grows then spread your brassicas in it in mid late July and mow it. That’ll kill the buckwheat and give the brassicas moisture from the cuttings to get it started. know the hard work you’ve put in if you cleared and cut that by hand. I’ve been doing the same thing and it takes time to build the soil and get a good plot. Keep at it.

I have shot a number of deer without leaving blood trails. Shooting center of the deer, as in height, all the blood stays inside. I shot a doe that ran 200 yards in an open field only to pile up at the edge. When dressed out, there were no lungs, only soup, and some clots.

Hey Crowley congratulations to you and Eric both ! The 243 would do that I'll kill several deer with my 243 no blood trail they bleed inside and fall dead. Last 2 years I've used my dad's old Remington 760 ,30-06 pump he left me when he passed away . I'd like my 243 but the 30-06 will put a hole in him ! I got a 7 point October 27th It was a special buck it was on my wife and I 43rd anniversary . Proud y'all have had a good year Congratulations again hope you guys all had a happy Thanksgiving and have a very Merry Christmas !🎄

I filmed for Eric down in the bog for a few days. The action was slow so I spent most of the season at the food plot. Eric killed his deer in the bog toward the end of the season. Thanks for watching.
