Has anyone killed more that one animal with one shot?

[TGYcustom]

Yes! Once on a group of hogs. Front one through the heart and the second one in the neck. Second one ran off but was recovered maybe 50 or so yards. Also did it while shooting rats with PCP air rifle. Two rats side by side.

Seen it several times turkey hunting and seen it twice with deer

Yes - I have shot a couple ground squirrels using a Kimber Model 82 Government (22LR)

I haven't but my long time hunting buddy did - 2 deer - with a muzzleloader and it was intentional and legal. One dropped where it stood the other ran about 20 yards and died.

I was hunting elk this year and the opportunity presented itself to shoot 2 elk, one perfectly right behind the other.
I didn't, but for a second I thought about it knowing I had the horse power of a rifle. However, knowing the many variable decided not. So I waited a few minutes and still shot 2 but separately.

Now I have shot varmints, 2 for 1. I am curious who has attempted this on purpose or not with anything from muledeer, hogs, elk, rabbits etc.

What were the results?
Would you do it again?

I had a similar opportunity on muleys and antelopes—a buck (front) and a doe (behind)—but, like you, I passed, even though I have the tags for both. Also, on a depredation hunt, two whitetail does presented me with a shot, but again, I passed despite having multiple tags.

The only times I killed two animals with one shot were with gophers, quails, and ducks.

I might have heard and seen of such things. Crap happens, right? It's no one's fault

Me too! The one I have seen was just plain crap, no excuses.

Out west where most are lucky to have one tag a year for dear or elk if it does happen it's unintentional but I hear of it happening almost ever year. Usually involves someone with "elk fever" that just can't wait other for animals to clear before taking a shot.

back when i and my brother were hunting turkeys we set forth with our .410's. mine being a single shot and his being a pump action. we got within 50' and fired............well i did as his action wasn't fully closed (i was 6 or 7 and he was 3 years older). 2 dropped dead and 2 others were wounded enough to not get far. when you're that age (6 or 7) it isn't fun to clean 4 turkeys by yourself as we had to clean what we killed. 52-53 years later i still DON'T eat turkey!

My buddy killed a cow elk after the bullet went thru a bull. She was bedded down about 30 yards behind the bull. This was with a 300wm and a hot loaded 215 berger hybrid. We couldn't even find what killed her until we skinned the animal. A small fragment literally hit the cow elk between the vertebrae at the base of the neck. Attached is the fragment weight. Talk about minimal meat damage.

I put the water swat on a raft of coots once and killed 13 with 2 shots lol.

I've shot 2 doves with one shot. I've shot 2 ducks with 1 shot.
And 2 hogs ...both head shots with 1 shot.

A friend of mine shot 2 turkey with a bow.
And 2 whitetail doe's with a bow....the doe's were 15yds apart and a total fluke shot.

Son has doubled on pigs 5 times with a rifle. From 22 hornet to 6.5 284. First double was by accident second four doubles were by design. I've done it on pigs once with a 308.

 

[257WHBY13]

Killed a 75lb Pig & a 10lb Piglet w/ one shot from my 280 Rem, Not planned though, just bad luck for the piglet.

 

[Lapuatom]

A number of times over the years on groundhogs. In the spring when the pups gather at the den entrance, line em up and have at it!

 

[just_jon]

I've doubled on pheasant and doves. I had an opportunity to attempt a double on a couple WT does some years ago but only had one tag.
