M00N Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 Re: Did you cry I didn't cry, but laughed at my first attempt at a deer. I completely missed it at 50yards. The deer jumped straight up in the air and ran into a tree on it's way fleeing my poor attempt at a very close distance rifle shot. The only way that deer would have got injured was either a heartattack or damage from hitting the tree because I left no marks on it at all. I was so frustrated that I just had to laugh to ease myself back up and sit back down and wait for the next one. Which I did kill with a single shot, but it was a tiny button buck about 50lbs or less because I could pick it up with one hand (at age 13) and carry it around. It was the easiest deer I've drug out of the woods ever. Didn't even break a sweat. Meat was darn tastey though, very pink and tender like veal.

flyrod64 Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 Re: Did you cry I got my new wife to start huntin with me last year. I took her to a place where I knew she would at least get a shot at a doe and would'nt you know it! In comes a nice six pt walkin straight at us. I kept telling her to wait on a better shot but she talked me into letting her shoot at it straight on in the chest. SHE MISSED LOW and I could have bawled! Hopefully she do better this year, and I bet she waits on the good shot this year LMAO! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RangerClay Posted October 14, 2005 Report Share Posted October 14, 2005 Re: Did you cry I've had a couple misty eyed moments over the years. Deer hunting is a very emotional sport. I've cried only once and it happened last year. On opening day of early ML season I was hunting in back of the house. I shot a doe for camp meat. I got on the radio to my buddies and gave the secret code word that there was a deer down. I set the radio back in my pocket and leaned back in my seat. Then the little voice of my 3 year old daughter came across the radio and said "Nice shot daddy". I lost it. My wife asked me later why I took so long to respond to Abigail. I told her I couldn't, I was crying. Ranger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckslayer Posted October 14, 2005 Report Share Posted October 14, 2005 Re: Did you cry I started hunting the chipmunks that littered the woodlot behind my house when I was about 10. I shot them with my pellet gun, and kept them from overpopulating the place. Well one day I saw a big squirrel, and darned if I didn't "hafta" get a better look through the scope. I put the scope on the amazing creature, and watched as it hopped up a branch some 15 yards away. It looked like a real trophy compared to my usual chipmunk - should I shoot the gray squirrel??? Pffft... the airgun goes off; the squirrel goes down - but not for the count... I ran up to it and its squealing and wriggling around in the leaves. Immediately I freaked, and ran to my house to get my Dad. By the time I got there I was bawling and sobbing (half because I knew I had done something wrong, I was told to stick to chipmunks). It took me a minute or two to pull him into the woods. I couldn't speak because I was sobbing, and he was scared as to what I was going to show him. When I showed him the squirrel still quivering in the leaves, he pumped the airgun, and calmly dispatched it. I haven't cried since then, although I've wounded and lost several animals and I've been frustrated enough to cry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted October 14, 2005 Report Share Posted October 14, 2005 Re: Did you cry Nope. I did feel pretty bad though. It was a pheasant that I winged, and I had to ring his neck to kill him. I'll never forget the way that pheasant looked at me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
