Default My DADS miss. Rifle..

I saw this buck 5 yrds broadside in front of me while i was bowhunting that year. I also had a bigger ten 18 yrds. I elected to wait for the ten to give me a shot. I got him. Its the one on the wall in the earlier photos of my game room. the one above the bar.

ANyways, I told my dad about it and i told him I'd set him up for GUN season.

I set him up, gave him the best opportunity as you'll see and he BLEW IT.. hit a tree. Then after the shot, its standing on top of the ridge, but he couldnt see. I could have shot it. lol

I'm just trying to figure something out.

Are you making fun of your own father? Or does he find this funny too?

It really sucks that he missed. After watching it a couple of times, I see that he hit the tree. That's one of the worst feelings in the world! [:@]
