Thats a first, jumpimg the trigger !

Yeah I'm thinkin. It was a fast shot, he came across my tree orchard. He wasn't gonna stop, so I mouth bleated to him and he finally stopped but was ansy. Pretty sure I shot just over the top of his back. Stupid me. Oh well. I'd rather have jumped the trigger and missed than made a bad shot and wounded him

Lol. I'm not gonna make excuses for my mistake. Funny though I make a quick freestanding heart shot on a doe. But screw up this shot. Oh well he wasn't that big. I've been seeing him. I won't make that mistake again.

I did that bow hunting , hit a fox 2X at 15yds then 10 min. later missed an 8 pt at 12yds over his back!

Well one thing I've learned over the years is that there are no gimmies when shooting at a deer. (bow or gun) No matter how close they are you still have to hunker down and squeeze off the shot. Been there myself and learned it the hard way!

Well I shot a 4pt yesterday am. about 140# not the biggest rack/deer for sure just as wide as its ears. Wife & kids want sausage made for sure, now they'll have it! I'll wait for the big guy in ML season. Forgot, on way home giong thru Cowlesville I pass a Dec. officer he spins around flips the lites on & pulles me over. He checked out my deer & tag then looked at all my remaining tags, checked to see if my guns were locked in the cases, all was legal & ok! Then I drive down the rd. a 1/2 mile pass a state trooper ,he spins around and I get pulled over by him, what the hell! He checks truck regs., my license, ask if atv trailer is mine checks that regs. all ok, I ask what the problem was. He says he couldn't read the first 2 letters on my plate # due to my loading ramps covering the #'s. Then says he won't write me at ticket this time! I was thinking I am sure the 96 yr. old man that was beaten up in Buffalo would be upset to hear my #'s were covered up! unbeliveable.

Nice job with the buck. Yeah these cops really need to find something else to do. Like their job of stopping REAL crime.
