Hunting with smart people!
A physicist, engineer and a statistician are out hunting. Suddenly, a deer appears 50 yards away.
The physicist does some basic ballistic calculations, assuming a vacuum, lifts his rifle to a specific angle, and shoots. The bullet lands 5 yards short.
The engineer adds a fudge factor for air resistance, lifts his rifle slightly higher, and shoots. The bullet lands 5 yards long.
The statistician yells "We got him!"

Hummm... That Deer must not can hear to good just to stand there and let that feller shoot at him.
Or that Deer is stupid and needs to hang around smarter Deer.

As far as the Physicist is concearned...I'd bet he hardly ever gets a second shot at a smart Deer...A.H
