Smokepole, I can relate very much to this. The year before I could legally hunt, my dad missed a nice buck. We saw it from the truck so he jumped out and walked to the fencepost to shoot.(You can shoot from the fencepost here in Alberta, it's not considered the road) And he popped the clip in and took a shot. Only thing was there was no bullet in the chamber and when the buck heard the click he was off like a shot and we never caught up with him. Thanx for sharing smokepole.
ps. i changed my name.

Hunting leaves tracks on my heart and imprints memories in my head.
