Guest littlered Posted June 19, 2006 Report Share Posted June 19, 2006 yesterday i got back from a camp trip and was itching to kill some varmits. so i grab my .17 and head to my feilds. i get out there and nothing is moving so i take some shots at a few birds and take a black bird at about 75 yrds. then i start back to my house and i see this black this moving across my feild, so i walk to get a little closer and look through my scope...... it was a skunk! i pull up at about 200 yrds free armed.. bang! i missed and it starts to run so i rack another round into the chamber bang! i miss again. the bolt flies back and comes forward and i take my time for the perfict shot click! i open my bolt and my clip was empty and stupid me didn't take extra ammo out with me. so i run to my house and tell my dad, i asked him if he wanted to go out and wait for it with me but he said no. so i grab his .223 and go right back out. i'm sneaking through the grass and about ten yrds away i see it without checking my scope i pulled and fired. it went about 3 inches off the ground and died instantly. then i was hit with the overwhelming stench of it wow! it was bad. i have pic's but i don't know how to put them up, if someone could pm me and tell me how i'll show you all pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coles Posted February 28, 2007 Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 Re: i\'ll never do that again one time we were fishing in a little creek and the grass around the edge was about thigh deep. well i was walkin along and i see sometihng rustle right in front of my foot. i mean about 6 inches away. right when i looked down the grass parted and all i could see was black and white. scared me to death. i yelled for my uncle to bring the pistol and i shot him while he was swimmin across the creek. then about a year later my brother shot another skunk around that same spot but when he shot it it sprayed and then my brother walked through it. we almost made him ride in the back of the pick up on the way home.

coles Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 Re: i\'ll never do that again i just remembered about another skunk i shot with my bow at about 10 yards. i was goin to sneek up on him but as i drew my bow he saw me and started runnin right at me. i let the arrow fly and hit him. he sprayed and i couldnt find my arrow. so then i headed to my stand and the wind shifted directions. i ended up having to smell skunk for the whole time in the stand.

ThethirdI Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 Re: i\'ll never do that again You are a more brave than I my friend. I was backpacking years ago and woke up one morning to one of those rascals milling around my tent. He had me pinned down for about an hour before I could get out to go Pee. It was miserable. I guess next time I better carry a bottle into the tent HUH! LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
