Best "luck" shot ever....

About three years me and a buddy were doing a little deer scouting during the season split. A cottontail ran out and stopped out on a pipeline. I told my buddy a ought-a pop him in the head. No way was his reply......Well I raised my .22 Win auto model 190 topped with a redfield 6x low pro and let one fly........It was 137 yards and right in the ear........

About seven years ago me and my grand-pa were out looking for the deer dogs we lost the day eairler. We stopped in a dead end canal to listen. A flock of mallards got up and circled. They were way up there. Being out in the Middle of no where, miles from the nearest camp. Grand-pa said I should take out the head mallard for supper and may get the dogs to come in also. Well he raised his Bar .308 and that lead duck fell. Hit in the neck. He must-of laughed for ten minutes..............


What's you best "witnessed" shot..........

    Done on a telphone wire, musta been 70-75 yards. My friend sticks a .38 snubby out of a back seat window of the car I was driving and pegs this dove, one shot. Never seen anything so lucky, probably never will.

    Last year me and my father went rabbit hunting. Set a time to pick him up. Took my 12 guage, Dad brought his 22 winchester. I told him he was going to need a shotgun as the rabbits were a bit skiddish in the area we were going to hunt. Dad said the 22 was all he needed.
    Anyway he got three on the run, to my one standing still! Needless to say I don't bet against my Dad when it comes to shooting!! And to think I had a shotgun!

    Of course I can play the piano, as long as it has pedals!

    Huntin' in the rain in Pell City, AL. Walkin' to the stand with my .270BAR walked right up on a doe at 25 yds. She didn't see me and I wasn't gonna risk taking off the scope covers or shouldering the rifle. I took a chance and "hipped" the rifle at what I thought was the vitals. Shot her in the neck and severed her spinal cord; she hit the ground like a sack of wet sand.

    When I was a young whippersnapper, I took the BB rifle (which I was not supposed to play with) out to the barn. The metal pole that sticks out, that you haul hay up to the loft with, was lined with pigeons. I pointed the BB gun up, closed my eyes, and pulled the trigger. Down came a pigeon with one in the head. We hid that thing real fast, put the rifle back, and never did tell grandma about our little adventure.

    If I knew then, what I know now.

    My friend and I were out plinking around shooting at cans. This one can was out at about 120 yards. I take my .22 and shoot it from the hip and I see the can fall over. We walk up to it and there was a hole right in the center of the can. I don't think I could ever repeat that even if I tried.

    Not a shooting story but related..

    My cousin had just bought a tomahawk and was showing it off to my friends and me one day,when he asked me to try it as he couldnt get it to stick.On my first throw i stuck it in a log across his yard,dead in the center.First time i ever threw one,but i didnt let them know that.I didnt try for a repeat performance either.
