After really looking at the pics I think I have it figured out.
Blacktail, so we can assume PNW. Which means wet. Which means the buck was probably standing over a puddle of water and the hunter saw the bucks reflection and was actually aiming at it instead of the deer. Here is where things get tricky, he had been at the range the day before trying for the 2500 yard steel and had 33.6 mil on the turret causing him to shoot roughly 10’ high, therefore missing the reflection and hitting the deer but what he didn’t see was the AOL free trial CD that had been hung years ago in the tree to scare away birds because he was focused on the reflection and not the actual deer. Yes, he should have seen the CD out of his perifpherals and should have dialed back down to zero after hitting the 2500 yard steel. So his fault, case closed.
