ORIGINAL: huntnteen
my story: i was duck hunting with my dad and a friend when a flock of wood ducks come in i am smart enough to wait untill they are past my dad before i shoot(or else id barrel whip him with the swing) but as soon as i was on a bird my gun was less then 6inches away from my dad when i pulled the trigger and dropped my first wood duck, my dad was mad for an hour before his ears quit ringing, and he will be the first to admit it was a SAFE shot but he wished i would have waited another couple seconds and since then i have always been cautious of how far away my gun is when i pull the trigger
I did that one time but I was dove hunting...Still haunts me to this day to think about what could have happend. It gives methe chills just thinking about it. But I dont belive mine was a safe shot.
Thats my dumbest moment and only close call.
Im glad Iwas taught to hadle a gun safely at an early age like5 or 6if not I would prob. have a list like TF's and thats nothing to be proud of.
