I think I posted this once here but...This year opening morning of gun hunting. It was really foggy where we were, and about 7:00 am I hear crunch crunch crunch, but I can't see anything. Then at about 30 yards I see a big bodied deer walking right at me. I sat still so he wouldn't catch me. At about 20 yards all I see is horns...big horns. It walks to 15 yards turns behind a tree, so I get the gun up without it seeing me. It steps out, broadside at 15 yards and stops, puts its head down and starts to munch on leaves. I was mostly thinking "Boy, this one will look great above the fireplace." So I settle in on the shoulder take a deep breath (He's still eating, broadside in the open) pull the trigger....CLICK. I never saw a deer run so fast...I swear his ass passed his head. By the time I got another shell chambered he was gone, never got him in the scope again. Anyway, I fired the ejected shell later and it worked fine..there was no firing pin mark on it. I figure as I walked out in the dark, the action of my 30.06 rubbed on my side and opened up the chamber just enough that the firing pin never connected. It was either an eight or ten pointer (I think 10), but really wide...I'd guess about 18". Biggest deer I ever saw hunting, and easiest shot I could ever wish for. I got a six that afternoon, but I still have dreams about that deer.
