I don't mind the criticism, certainly isn't a shot I'd take today. However, if anyone wants to post the pictures for educational purposes I think it could be of some value. In my defense, I'll say the "brush" amounted to a singular or two 4ft tall bush with no leaves that I could see pretty well on the edge of draw I'd been watching for over 4 hours not 10 yards from my blind. Behind the shot was a draw that came back up providing a backstop for my shot. Again, I could see through and clearly over the bush 120 yards behind the buck and had been observing as that is the direction he came from. So I was positive I presented no danger to another hunter.
I strongly disapprove of shooting into thick brush on movement not knowing what is in the brush, what's behind it, etc... That is not what we are talking about here. Still a brush shot and a bad shot now in hindsight only taken because I didn't realize a singular twig could deflect a 270 win bullet. It seems to still be a matter of dispute according to Youtube. I've been convinced it just isn't a shot worth taking in the future.
Anyone that wants to post the pictures, text me at 214-450-2910. I'd be happy to send them so you can post.
