I eased out of my truck and racked a shell in my gun and propped up to take a shot. That's when it went bad. As I look through the scope it's nothing but fog, water drops, and blur. I found what looked like the buck in my crosshairs and took a chance. I found no blood and no deer but I can't be too mad because that was pure luck.
WTF. You shot without identifying your target or what may be beyond? News flash, binocs are for game viewing, not rifle scopes attached to loaded weapons. That's totally irresponsible, reckless and potentially, very dangerous. Perhaps you should take a refresher course in safe hunting protocols. Another reason to stay out of that hell-hole called the Green Swamp. Good grief!
