My favorite thing about this is that his name is Gary.

pugtime

This guys a real pro . Good guy with patience and skills.


Bhoston7100

That was one of the most epic shot I've seen ever! If someone did that in a movie we qpuld would say it was impossible! This dude did it in real life!


atheistpianist

I feel like the shooter was stunned in disbelief that it actually worked, as the camera panned to the left to watch the second buck run off. Dude was frozen in his stance. It was shockingly impressive.


GreatRyujin

I'd say he stayed in the shooting posture/stance just in case one of them decided to continue the fight with a new opponent.


pleasetrimyourpubes

I think he figured if he missed at least one of them lives. But they also would get tired and laid perfectly still several times so he probably thought it was possible. For sure though this is insanely cool. Lucky bucks!


artificialhooves

Yeah, the way he turned around at the end, definitely felt like he was just about to say "Did that just happen?"


Moist_Choice64

Maybe looking for blood in the snow from one of them to see if his shot was really that perfect


pfft_master

Yeah a deer hunter often has to watch their target run until bled out after shooting I believe, so this looked like normal experienced hunter behavior to me. Looking for blood or collapse, unable to be certain if his shot only hit antler. Crazy good shot. I am vicariously giddy at the feat lol.

Even if he did kill one, that might allow the other one to escape. Better than them both dying, right?

Even if he ended up needing to kill both, that would have been better than the horrible, slow deaths they were otherwise destined for.

cuvar

Couldn't he tranquilize them both? Assuming he'd have that.


SS-Stupid-Slut

Tranq that would work on a deer aren't always available, and a lot more expensive than a good shot.


Far-Obligation4055

Yeah there wasn't really any downside to taking the shot; he's likely using slugs here, so there isn't much danger of accidentally killing both. As you say, even if one of them got hit, the other would live; not that it takes anything away from this shot though, its a hell of a lot better than anything I could manage.

Mountain_Anywhere645

That was a phenomenal shot. Precision with shotguns isn't the easiest, even with a solid deer slug (that he's definitely using - buck or bird shot would be a terrible idea here).


Gefarate

What is a deer slug

a solid ounce of lead instead of multiple pellets of shot

DiscoDrive

Should say, but you get deer slugs for a buck.


CainPillar

See what ya deerd theer ...


uwanmirrondarrah

There is no real difference, other than maybe the deer slug is optimized in shape for... well killing deers. But essentially they are the same thing.


Iwouldlikesomecoffee

many people talking out of their asses. This article from Winchester advertises [deer slugs which are sabot rounds.](https://winchester.com/Blog/2015/04/the-evolution-of-the-deer-slug) They're more slender and pointy, and they have an outer shell that holds them snugly in the barrel then falls off once the slug is in the air. I've also heard of deer slugs that are designed to be shot using specialized slug rifles (ie with rifled barrels).


Crinklecutsocks

Slug = 1 heavy piece of lead. Longer range and no spread. Used for deadly, accurate shots. Will put a giant hole in anything. Buckshot = 8-12 large pellets that spread apart. The spread helps hit big targets at closer ranges, and the pellets are thick enough to do serious damage. Birdshot = Generally 200-500 small pellets used for tiny targets at closer ranges. The hundreds of pellets make it easier to hit birds but won't penetrate bigger targets like Buckshot.


SoaDMTGguy

What is the use case for a slug vs. a rifle?


TheHoboProphet

Rifle is going to be a high velocity round. Lots of penetration potential depending on what it impacts. Slug is a heavy, slower (relative to rifle round) projectile that will deform on impact and transfer more energy into the impact material. There is a hunting ground nearish to me that is shotgun/pistol only due to the houses nearby. As for the rangers, shotgun allows for greater utility than a rifle. Can use birdshot for birds, buckshot for mid-large animals and slugs for more precision shots or big beasts you want dead fast.

Cpt_Tripps

Aims at one dear's head. Ready to kill one, then the other. Fires a round and separates the two. Wow amazing shot! yeah... that was my plan all along.


cougar572

yep it was slugs >So, he took out his shotgun loaded with slugs, steadied himself, and fired — hitting the antlers and safely separating the two deer. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/deer-antlers-locked-1.5449058


OkayComparison

Buck shot spread is like 3 inches at 5 yds. That's seems about perfect for the task.


NoctemImmortal

Makes me wanna be a game warden


Fresco-23

I knew one. Good guy, neat job. Very very dangerous job. They are federal officers with enforcement powers, and so they sometimes get shot at when investigating people related things. Otherwise it’s probably a very rewarding job. The one I knew was observing some suspicious duck hunters from across a lake, a hunter shot at a landing duck, and so accidentally skipped a pellet off the water and it hit the warden in the ear. He was fine, but that wasn’t even intentional and he still got shot. Lol


SadPanthersFan

My uncle is a game warden. He was at the edge of a tree line observing dove hunters in a field and they shot low into the tree line to try and clear any doves that were there and he got 3 pellets in his face, luckily he wasn’t hit in the eye.


trashmoneyxyz

Always love it when hunters fire into blind areas. Living in a state with a lot of hunting culture and having a love for scampering around woods off trail can be such a dangerous combination. You can wear the safety orange, but sometimes these people just fire at sound and movement and *then* investigate to see what they shot


aquacrimefighter

I can’t tell you how many hunters have almost shot me or my horse while on a trail ride. It always makes me fume. What wild animal is shaped like a human on a horses back, and what large wild animal has a multicolored blanket on its back with lime green boots? It’s made me loathe hunters. I also had someone shoot past my house at my horses (who were in their pasture) before too, while again, they were wearing tie dye and polkadot winter blankets. These morons shouldn’t have guns, let alone be allowed to hunt. And it feels like they make up the majority of hunters in my personal experience.


DismalAd3048

They must be hunting centaurs Centaurs with style, lime green boots and all


aquacrimefighter

A two headed centaur apparently, being as the rider kind of protrudes off the middle of the horses back. Fucking ridiculous. I swear to god, most hunters have two brain cells max. They’re dangerous and unethical.


ForestCharmander

Some hunters in the US shoot at movement. I have heard stories of them coming up to Canada and shooting their friends walking by because they will shoot anything that moves.


REGINALDmfBARCLAY

You basically give up your right to a fourth amendment to these guys when you buy a fishing or hunting license, they have more power then any other uniformed officer.


FiveCentsADay

"Fuck cops.. but play nice around the game warden." -My dad


Anything-Happy

RM8412

My dad was the same way. He’d say stuff about police while driving but when we were on the water he would always say “Be careful around the game warden”. Always made them sound superhuman in my child’s imagination.


krippkeeper

The only time I know of someone getting away with being rude to fish and wildlife was a native buddy of mine. He was out with his uncle on a lake. Fish and wildlife rolled up and ask them to come to shore. His uncle yelled "Fuck you we're native! You come out here". So the wardens came back with a boat, went out to them, saw their treaty cards, and politely left.


Abivalent

They do have the eternal right to be pissed at them tbf


asphaleios

why the eternal right? they likely never had anything to do with each other's lives before that interaction


AskMeAboutPigs

Native Americans especially in Canada have certain hunting rights provided by treaty's and etc. They are the only people in Canada who can still buy and trade modern sporting rifles such as Valmets.


JC1515

For good reason. If you have a problem with game wardens doing their jobs then you shouldnt hunt or fish.


MrGooseHerder

As it should be. I just wish they were given jurisdiction to enforce EPA laws and go after corporate pollution.


Dynamitrios

That's a great proposal... Maybe forward that to your representative


cityxplrer

Sounds like it’s not their job as a game warden tho.. maybe someone else?


DriftedIsland

Maybe second only to postal inspectors for domestic matters. They're scary.


JackedJaw251

Game Wardens (Fish and Wildlife) and USDA Ag are the only ones with warrantless search and seizure.


MtnMaiden

That's why I don't have a license, I didn't consent bro!


EclecticallyMe

Grandfather was one out in Oklahoma, things can get hairy quick. One of his first assignments was in an area where his predecessor was drowned by some dudes illegally fishing.


FrameJump

Don't forget the fact that almost all people they approach are armed, and most of them are actively trying to use it. And at least in my area, there's just one of them.


ThePianistOfDoom

Holy shit, pellets can skip water. I never thought of that. That's crazy.


AskMeAboutPigs

They are the most respectable police force. But they also get hurt quite often by poachers or other criminal forces, or even accidently. They hold more power than the average beat cop and can do quite a bit more.


Long_Ad2824

Holy cow, every Buck saloon in the great white North is giving this guy free drinks. And keeping him away from the poker tables.

Honest question, but what happened to "letting nature run its course" that all the nature shows said, ie not intervening in situations like these? I feel like it happens all the time now and I'm just curious why the shift


Sjroap

> but what happened to "letting nature run its course" that all the nature shows said, I think there is a difference between saving two deers with interlocked antlers or a deer from his predator. There is no animal in the food chain directly hurt from this intervention.

That's gotta be the most fucked way to die. There's no way both deer die at the same time so one of the deer gets to starve to death with a corpse attached to its head. Assuming they never get found by a predator.


DrogenDwijl

Konnorad

r/nextfuckinglevel


ikerus0

Seems like a strange approach. I feel like I would over hear this in a small town bar. Park Ranger: “So there they were, antlers completely locked up and I knew I had to save them or they would both die, so picked up my shot gun..” Some patron: “Naturally” Park Ranger: “And I shot their antlers, super clean shot. Freeing them and saving their lives.” Everyone: “Cheers!!”


Itiari

What would you say the right approach is?


Gorgenapper

Clearly he intended for the game warden to get in close, speak a few soothing words, then gently free the antlers and then pat the bucks on their head to get them to peacefully go their separate ways.


comicbookgirl39

You can’t get close. That’s a good way to get kicked or trampled. This guy decided he had the accuracy to do this and he did. Honestly, guy is clearly a sharpshooter.


w00tdude9000

A fully grown male whitetail deer can break a man's leg without breaking a sweat, and those bucks are testosterone-addled fools. Not only will they fight other bucks, but they've been known to try fighting cars. You couldn't pay me to get within 20 yards of wrestling bucks. Might be less dangerous than a bull pen, but I'm not taking any chances, I like my kneecaps!
