Last day of Deer Season
I was all excited about the last day of deer season today, especially after waiting 3 weeks since I had my surgery. It was only about 22 degrees outside, but no fear, i have many camo clothes to wear. Three of us went, Luke, Ryan and myself. I sat with Ryan at the corner of my favorite field. An hour or so went by an finally the deer came out. We scoped them out for about 30-45 minutes waiting for that perfect shot. I had my sights set on the buck - not a big one, but he was a six pointer. I lined up my shot and fired. Nothing. I was shocked. I took two more shots at him before he ran off, still nothing. I took another shot at the biggest doe that was left, another miss. I found myself in awe and without any bullets left. Now, I don't want to gloat, but I am not a bad shot, earlier last year, I shot a skeet clay at 200 yards with no problem. I told Ryan that something was wrong with my gun, I mean what else could it be? We got packed up to hike out, and I had to shoot at some sort of target to verify I wasn't just missing. I sat up a bottle of water, shot and missed. It hit high. I then aimed about a foot and a half below the bottle and barely hit the top of it. So, there you have it. My gun is out of sight! Moral of the story: Sight your gun in each season so you can enjoy the hunt!
