Thread: Fucked up today!

Was just riding the bike to the parking spot when through the trees i spied a white buck of a decent size so i came to a rolling stop and managed to get the scope cover off the gun and gun loaded whilst it looked at me.
Cross hairs on the shoulder i take a second look at the head to make sure hes the one i want and thats all the time he needed, like Superman he was gone in a single bound leaving me to sit and watch his white arse disappear into the sunset.
Mental note: If i know it is a good buck the first time i look then for christ sake, just pull the trigger!
I shake my head!

Nothing wrong with identifying your target

beats shooting it and thinking afterwards " I should have left it"

He will still be there some where mate. gives you a good excuse to head back out!!

A good post! Could have been a bad one, good decision making

As others have said. Good move. Now go back and find him

Bit do a bugger Mal but there for another day.

Wouldn't have been very sporting to shoot him from the bike anyways, probably a blessing in disguise.

Good one mate, be proud of your decision, plenty of others wish they took the extra time.

Meat hunting once and seen a hind of good size so I started stalking towards her there was a bit of tight bush to get thru which I did quietly, got to the other side looked down at my rifle to check safty's on and bolt closed looked up at the hind bounding away from meThat's hunting bro but you know that

Yeah man thats hunting. All i could say was F F F F F F and then go try find him. I know where he is living right now at least.

No shame in taking two looks and not getting it - times I spook an animal and watch it disappear off into the distance I try to remind myself that I'm in the right place to be

Still hurts tho

Unlucky MH, as you say at least you know where he is.....
