No need to worry about pictures of dead animals in this post.

Me and my buddy drew 100m tags and headed over to try and drop something this past week and got skunked. Not literally thankfully but in the sense that the only meat we came home with was bratwurst.

So before he beats me to it let me tell you about the deer I missed. The first one was off the road and about 40yards from me. I exited the vehicle and stepped into the ditch and put a cap on my renegade. Or rather I fumbled the cap into the mud. By the time I got a cap on the blasted thing she had hopped off into the brush. I climbed the little rise and stalked her for about 15-20 minutes and finally got a shot at about 60 yards. I slowly pulled back the hammer and it clicked into place. She bolted like I had kicked her in the rear! Up over a ridge and never to be seen again. Thats one.

The second doe was standing broadside to me, upwind and about 60 yards away on level ground.I could not have asked for a better shot. As I shouldered the rifle I reached to set the trigger ... and fired a round into the air 40 feet over her. I had found the main trigger instead of the set trigger. Oddly enough she was spooked but still there so I turned to see if my buddy was going to take the shot. He likely would have if he had not been curled up in a fetal position laughing like some demented madman. Looking back it was indeed funny but all I wanted to do right then was see how much damage it would take to shut him up. I finally did laugh about it though right up until the viagra jokes started. I think you know what I am meaning here.

Just count yourself lucky, you've seen deer. That's more than I can claim.

I can't get over the idiots on the hunting shows who reach up to cock their Encores or Knight wannabees and click! :youcrazy: They all seem to get away with it but you'll never see me do that in the woods. It's very easy to do a "hunters cock" and with a little practice becomes second nature. Squeeze the trigger as you cock the hammer, let off the trigger when the hammer is back and your cocked, silently.

Yepper, have to do that in the woods around my area. Sorry to hear about your "luck" but at least you got out into the woods.

That's because they never have to worry about being heard. They don't bother to get any closer than 150-200 yards with their scoped in#$%es! :shake:

You're assuming the footage you see on TV is consecutive and is filmed in real time. The sequence is the result of editing for content and most of the sound is added after the fact.

Flash I still have not stopped thinking about you shooting up in the air over than deer LOL :rotf: . He look Bang!!! HEHEHEHEH It truly a pleaser to share a camp with you!! Your just a bit rusty and it'll all work out. Your welcome to share my camp fire for years to come. I had a great tikme and Like I told you thats what hunting is suppose to be. It the experiance. Heck if it was easy we would be shooting 7mag's or .06 We hunt with smoke pole cause we is a bit :youcrazy: twisted. :youcrazy: Now ifin ya keep doin manure like that i'll have ta touch ya :slap: I just hope you had fun!! Cause to me thats all that matters

When there is something deer don't like at all then it is metalic sounds in the countrysite like cocking hammers produce it. My expirience is that a wooden noise or general a natural noise doesn't disturb so much as a metalic one.

So try to cock in the hunters way! :thumbsup:
