Two bass boats encountered a scary moment when they witnessed someone attempt to shoot a whitetail buck swimming in the lake.
Two sets of anglers were in the middle of a fishing tournament bass fishing when they witnessed the sight. The swimming buck chased some does across Lake Mitchell mere yards from two bass boats.
The angler videoed the scene, simply enjoying the moment, when all of a sudden shots were fired in the direction of the buck. Hysteria ensued. The land near this part of the lake is in the Coosa County Wildlife Management Area.
Watch and see how it all unfolded.

I had a scary moment yesterday while fishing. It was a very cold morning so I was being very careful wearing my life...

In fact both boats caught the scene on video. Here"s the other angle.

Fishing a tournament on Mitchell with Kaleb Lott this morning and saw a buck chasing two does across the slough. He was a decent buck so I got Snapchat out just in time to catch someone up the hill shoot at him. Glad us and the other fisherman in the video weren’t any closer than we were bc that could’ve ended in a bad way. Accidentally stopped recording after the first shot bc it scared the crap out of us but Elmer Fudd fired down again about 2 seconds later 🤦🏻♂️

This incident goes against all common sense and safety practices when hunting or shooting period. From the videos, we"re not sure what took place next nor if the authorities are involved. Nonetheless, no one should ever shoot at water. There are too many variables that the bullet could have ricocheted off of. We"re just glad these anglers are okay. As for the buck, we"re not sure of the outcome.
