A very lucky skilled shot.

you sure he’s not sleeping or in a coma?

I wonder what dinosaur would taste like. Chicken?

Be pretty rank by then…

Watched a guy off an alligator on that cop show tonight, took 2 shots

As a deer and elk hunter. I would sure hate having to gut, skin, quarter, and carry out all that meat. In hunting, the killing is the easy part. The real work begins after the kill.

I hope the dino is just faking it.

Sometimes it takes a lot of skill to be (so) lucky.

Having skill can be very fortunate at times.

Find a dead dinosaur, stick an arrow in its tail and create a legend.

Reminds me of a Far Side.

If there are any…

Now he needs to find a refrigerator that’ll hold it all. Yip yip yip yip yip

Where’s T-Rex when you need him. Yip yip yip yip yip

I saw my son-in-law’s first hit on a deer, which simply roused it to bound away at top speed. But his second shot dropped it instantly, through the spine. Over 100 yards, it had to be luck.

You’re lucky that the creature slept through the whole experience and didn’t wake and kill you.

2.5" .410…30 yards …9 9mm pellets in a 6" pattern… behind the neck above the shoulder, lung shot…chased him more than half a mile before he dropped. I prefer bow season.

Skill is where you can do it again.

Lucky or skilful, the shot served its purpose.

(By lucky coincidence, the dinosaur suffered a sudden and fatal heart attack JUST as the arrow struck and barely penetrated it’s thick skin.)

“I’m such a great hunter!”

This kind of happened to me once. A friend and I were walking along a train track and we came upon a snake, in it’s threatening pose. I underhanded a little pebble at it, to make it go away, but it hit apparently in a critical spot right on its head. It writhed around, obviously badly hurt. I felt so bad, but it was a one-in-a-million shot…

Ummm… he’s not dead….

It will could take you that long just to field dress it with a sharp rock. Dragging it home through the packs, prides and flocks of scavengers will likely be an adventure in itself.

Well placed shot. Either that or he just coincidentally died of old age at the exact same time that the arrow pin pricked him….

My first deer….. Dropped him with a new 2002 Silverado. Expensive ammo – $2250 in repairs.

Hard to believe one teensy tiny arrow brought that dino down…

First time I ever recall these guys actually successful in the hunt!

Just keep a safe distance from the Thagomizer.

Cue the PETA boycott in 3, 2, 1.

More like when you’re begging him to take leftovers months from now!

I guess you could repurpose a dirigible as a FoodSaver bag. But then you’d have to invent an industrial-sized FoodSaver vacuum. And find a nearby glacier to store it in.

As a hunter I’d rather have a lucky hit than a skillful miss.

He shot an arrow into the air, where it landed he new where, into small brain, felling large beast; Bronto burgers for the next month…

Tiny arrow into tiny brain, now to carry it home…

That is probably an endangered species! … (or was)

I’m inclined to suspect luck over skill but mainly I’m just jealous of the leftovers.

Chicken tastes like dinosaurs.

Achilles Head.
