I'll say it. Lucky, poor shot and not a "Great Shot". A great shot would have been a DRT deer that didn't suffer the 790 yard walk/ride it took before you could put her down.
Sorry, but I believe hunting a GAME animal deserves more respect and accuracy than a 790 yard shot can guarantee. Also, what bullet were you shooting at 1000 yards target practice? Surely you weren't using a hunting round?

Nice shooting. A 22creed kills very well. I’ve handled several does with it using 80.5 berger’s and 78gr tsx’s at 3420 and all have been drt where they stand. Lung shots. 22-250 will do it too. Granted distance will handicap I never shoot beyond 250 using them.
Except this one didnt kill. It just hobbled the deer enough to allow the man to slit her throat.
