Good luck favored me the other day, and I was able to add another 50 yards onto my Longest Critter Kill record. This chunker made the mistake of showin' himself across the neighbor's field while I was showin' off my groundhog gun to my cousin at the family Easter gatherin'. I was unsure of the distance, so a warm-up shot was in order, but I domed him on the second shot at a GPS-measured 353 yards. Not far by some folk's standards, but that's not a shot I'm able to practice, and I only get a few 300+ yard opportunities a year. I'll take it.
That was a super shot by standards around here. I haven't seen any other than along the road, the coyotes might be putting some pressure on them here in VA. When I see one it is around a building. When I lived in town and there was a law against shooting a gun, I got one with a 22 that I had stuck in my shirt, capped it like a gangster as it ran under my AC unit.LOL buried it in the flowerbed and the neighbor's dog carried it into their house.
ReplyDeleteI got a good chuckle outta that story! Thank goodness you're no longer in town.
