Turkeygirl Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 So around 5pm yesterday, I go out to fill our bird feeders before going to do barn chores. I keep watching over towards the side of the house where we have a brushy area on the property line rabbits love. I'm filling a feeder and see a rabbit hop out. I run in and grab the .22, of which Andy said was really off when he shot like 10 times at a rabbit a week ago. Well I thought opposite but was proved wrong when I couldn't hit it. Watched the rabbit hop off, ran in and grabbed the 20 ga. and went back out. Found the .22 was hittingthe ground just before the rabbit. Started following tracks, look over to my right and see his head poking up behind a pile, I get a shot off as he turns to leave, narrowly missing him. So I cut his tracks, finally come upon him as he darts in front of my like 10 yards, go to squeeze the trigger and nothing, what the heck, did it jam!? I watch the rabbit stop behind some logs, sneak a little closer, his head pops up, aim, and do the trigger, nothing, not even a click! I watch as this rabbit hops to my left about 15yards in the wide open, stops and goes on. I can't figure out what is wrong till I look and find a chunk of ice behind the trigger and trigger guard Embarrassing, yes. I had tripped in the snow and the trigger end went in, didn't think to check it. I learned my lesson! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaun_300 Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 Re: Rabbit - 1, Me-?? Sounds like the rabbit was on it's 8th life! That's just like a few years ago. I was out grouse hunting and had to empty the bladder. So I unload the gun, do my thing and continue on. 15 minutes later there's a partridge in a tree, pull the hammer back on my 20ga, *click!* I forgot to load the dang gun after I took a wiz! Stumbled to get the barrel open and scramble for a shell, by the time I got one he was gone. Oh well, haven't made that mistake since......
