RE: funny stories
I about got humped by one of the farmer's goats today when i got out of my truck. That was a little weird. But, one that comes to mind. Has anyone seen it when rabbits run at each other and the other one jumps over it? Kinda like leap from? For those who have, they know that in itself is funny. But, i was rabbit hunting one day, and came across one. So i knocked an arrow and drew back, got all anchored in, and about the time i was going to release another one came running out, and the one i was aiming jup, jumped right over top of him. At first i was kind of like, "WTF was that?" I kept tryin to aim at one but they kept jumpin all over the place. Finally i was laughin so hard i just walked off. You kinda had to be there, but it was funny.

RE: funny stories
ive never seen that myself. What i like is watching squirrels try to jump from tree to tree and they miss a branch and come falling to the ground from way above. The darn things never get hurt either and their lil feet r already running b4 they hit the ground.

RE: funny stories
I've told this story a few times and i remember less and less as the years go by lol (comes with age i suppose). Several years ago, my father and i were out dove hunting next to a canal. We were overlooking a field and some orchards. My dad and i were the only ones out there. We were standing along the fenceline and there was several high bushes along it. My dad wasn't that far from me, within yelling distance but save enough so we wouldn't end up eating flyingBBs. It was pretty slow out there. I had togo tinkleso I placed my gun against the fence and started to go. Now dove always seem to know when you are less likely prepared to shoot so naturally that is when they come over your head and slow. I was still scanning the air and when i looked off to my left, i noticed a single dove flying just over my dad's head. Out of reaction while stilll tinkling,, i reached for my gun, turned around and shot it; I got the bird but only then i realize i was standing there with a shotgun in head and still wetting the dirt. My dad laughed and said "Were yougoing to shoot it or *censor* it!" Oopsie lol
The second story wasn't really funny but if someone didn't know what i was doing and shooting, they'd be laughing i suppose. The same place during a dove hunt. I was out there by myself but other hunters were there but further down. I shot got a double (the other i couldn't find) and as i found the first one, i heard the tell tale tail of a rattlersnake. When i go to get a dove, i always go out and get it while carrying my gun. My first reaction as to stop and stay still. I noticed to my left, not even more then three feet away, was the snake. I had my gun facing in its general direction. I slowly raised it at what i was guessing where the snake was. I hit it with the first shot and shot it with the remaining two. I jumped back, reloading three more times and shot it once more. I don't know if it was a reflex or what but this thing was still moving. I carry a knife with me out there as well and i was able to stand on back just lower then the head and finished the job. I picked it up and it was one of the longest rattlers i have ever seen. Close to 6 feet so i was extremely lucky it didn't decide to strike me. As i was walking towards my truck later, one of the hunters there said he actually laughed because he thought i was shooting a wounded dove until i reached down and pulled out an headless snake.
