In what officials are calling a bizarre incident, an Arkansas hunter was killed by a deer that he thought he had shot dead...Thomas Alexander, age 66, who lived in the area and was an experienced hunter, was sitting in an elevated deer stand during the state's muzzleloader season..."It appears he shot the deer and he had put his rifle down near the deer stand and walked down to check and make sure it was dead..."

Yes, but two things:

First, the term double tap means pull the trigger twice with a semi automatic weapon,

and second, in the time it takes to reload a muzzleloader, the buck has charged through the underbrush and you don't have the shot anymore. Especially if it wasn't a kill shot.

Disclaimer: I have never hunted but I pay attention. My late father-in-law was an avid deer hunter, even in the muzzleloader season. Whenever he said "My Deer", he was not talking to my mother-in-law, he was talking about his trophy in the den.

You always do it in such style. :)

LOL!

I’m old, but not that old!

My rifle is hammerless!

Great pic, BTW!
