Two Deer With ONE shot!

[David In Indiana]

On November 18th (Sunday); I shot two Deer, on my property, with ONE Shot! The Deer were about 50 yards from my 15' tree stand down in a low area. Due to the amount of trees; I had to really look hard. I was waiting for a Buck, so earlier that morning I passed up shots on three Deer. After setting for sometime, I saw a really nice and VERY large Doe, so I decided to go ahead a fill my Bonus Tag. I waited until the Doe passed by the tree, inwhich she was behind, and got a good shot at her shoulder area. I fired and she jumped and ran about 15 yards before piling up. At the same time a smaller Deer came running up toward my stand and fell. I didn't realize that the smaller Deer was beside the larger Doe on her right side. Like I said the 240 grain Hornady XTP bullet hit the Doe in her left shoulder and exited just behind her right shoulder. The bullet proceded to pass through the Doe and hit the smaller Deer in the Lungs. This was indeed a WEIRD & FREAK shot! Two Deer with a single .44 Magnum Round. I've only done this once before but with a Muzzle Loader. Anyway, the large Doe weighed 150 pounds which is the largest Doe I've ever harvested todate. The other Deer was around 80 to 90 pounds. So I had very good luck with my Ruger M-77/.44 Magnum this Season. Has anyone here taken a two Deer with one shot??

My hunting partner did that a couple of years ago. Filled 2 of his antlerless mulie tags. Tood the doe and it's fawn. It wasn't his plan but it happened.
About 50 years ago my dad did it but it was antelope.

I know a guy that did this with Javalinas in texas and a guy up here on the hill that did it on a doe and a fawn. It's uncommon but by all means possible. VERY possible with a stout bullet like a Barnes copper bullet or hard cast lead.

I passed on a charging buck (a good one) a few years ago because he was surrounded with does in front and behind him. Had I shot, I couldn't be sure what I may have collaterally shot.

Then my shot opportunity was gone.

My buddy got two wild hogs with one shot down in Georgia. He was using my .58 Zouave, shooting patched round ball.
He killed a hog, and said, he saw another hog run from behind the first hog, and it was bleeding.
He came up to the house and got me. We tracked down that second hog in the dark. I was holding the .45, Bud had the flashlight. Very poor blood trail, we tracked on our hands and knees for about an hour. The .45 did the job on the hog, it was about 100 pounds.
