I've done a lot of "shotgun brush-hogging" myself but the most memorable was the 1" silver birch sapling that sacrificed itself by jumping between my speeding 150 grain .270 bullet and the 7 point buck's heart.
I even saved the 9" section of the sapling and plan to mount it on a nice walnut plaque up on the wall where my antlers are proudly displayed. |

.....Jeff, my cousin Tim did that with his bow but on a smaller sapling. The arrow split the sapling and went almost all the way through but hung up on the fletching.

While hunting Eland in Africa I had a similar experience. I fired a shot with my 375 H&H at an Eland which should have fallen to the ground immediately. The PH, trackers and I looked for over an hour for blood and hair or any evidence of a hit with negative results. We walked back to where I was standing and tried to recreate the shot. It was then that one of the trackers discovered a 375 caliber hole through the only small tree that was standing between me and the Eland. A few days later I had another chance and killed one without help from intervening brush.
