The hunt

[chally]

Had a fantastic thanksgiving with tons of family up @ my farm.
We had to move to town but the farm is our home and we all enjoy our time there. So wed I went out at dusk on my own into the hay fields in my frontier PWC which can go places most chairs can't. I had my shooting stick and 308 across my arm rest and binoculars around my neck. Keep in mind my hands do not work at all so I am really just going through the hunters motions mostly cause I don't want to give it up yet. I love the woods and fields and of course fresh deer meat.
So along comes a nice buck about 200 yards out so I humor myself and say ok get the shooting stick up ok now lift the barrel of rifle with forearm and place it in the stick notch.
After doing all this I forgot the safety was on and I couldn't get it off ( no fingers here). So had to reverse everything and put gun in position that I could knock the safety off with a stiff knuckle. That done I set everything back up and got the deer in the cross hairs. Now I have to stick my thumb through the trigger guard to catch a pull my finger through to fire the gun. That done I am ready to shoot only thing is I don 't have enough finger strength to pull. Dam it! I then stick my thumb in there too line it all up and BAM! I drop the buck. This was total luck but also a lot of detrmination. ( and a pretty dumb deer) any way if your vegetarian, vegan or peta I don't mean to offend ya. I just love to tell stories espically hunting tales. Hope ya all had the best thanksgiving ever! Love ya chally

Awesome tale, chally! And, if you can drop a buck with all that work, you deserve the bounty that comes with it. I hope you were able to fill the deep freeze with all that goodness! If I lived any closer to you, I'd be banging on your door and asking for all the offal and bones for my dogs.

Chally,

I so enjoyed reading about your hunt. I admire your determination and tenacity.

Wish I could have been there to share the moment, but I probably would have laughed so hard I would have scared off the buck!
