A few days back i had mentioned to herself that it was time to fill another Deer tag since the last one (yearling Blacktail and downright yummy!) was about gone cause family and friends mooched a bunch of it.
Sooooo, yesterday herself says, hey those Deer are in the backyard again! We have a few acres and the bloody pests are always around. Yep 4 of them standing 30 feet from the house on the back lawn eating the last of the leaves from the apple tree and eyeing the shrubs around the patio. Not wanting to disturb the neighbors, i grabbed the .22, slid open the bedroom window about 8 inches and rested on the vanity, then took off my glasses to see through the scope:blush:.
That cute liquid eyed little booger was just maybe 35 feet away and the crosshair set nicely betwixt the eyes, crack! stoopid Deer flicked his ear and kept eating,... self says i,.... how could you miss? Just as i was wondering if i should try again, herself says, you missed! And the teevee just went off! It seems that i fergot two things, first that the coax from the satellite dish hangs in front of that window after it fell off its clip a few months/years back.....and second, closeup stuff like twigs and coax cables don't show up in a scope. D'oh!
Herself is still giggling that i had to go to town and get connections and a splice, she also said......i dare ya to put that on the forum! Sez me, hell, real men will admit their mistakes.....unlike wimmens I will whack that little booger another day!
