Last fall, shooting at a grouse on the ground through a hole in some Spruce boughs. misjudged the trajectory and the arrow hit the branch squarely at the top of the hole , stopped dead and promtly fell to the ground.about 5 feet in front of me. The bird was as confused as I was and offered a second shot.
15 years old ,hunting Deer with a Savage lever action. Doe and fawn quietly came past ,offering a shot at the Fawn. Took the fawn with the first shot, but in my exitement , cycled a round through without firing ,............ took a second finishing shot and missed ,as it dropped just as I pulled the trigger. I then ejected another unspent round before walikg up to finish the job with shell #5. Glad none of my cousins were there to see that, or they'd still be ribbin" me.
Hunting snowshoe hare in the late fall is pretty easy. They turn white ,the leaves are off and if you're lucky , the snow isn't on the ground yet. This makes them easy targets to spot. ........... unless you are in thick Balsams,...........with the occasional White Birch. All I'm saying is that a pice of Birch bark with a small black hole from a branch,(right about where an eye should be, if it were a rabbit) at 20 yards in the din of the evergreens will not even flinch when confronted with a well placed shot from the 22.
