Here you go.
I have destroyed some out buildings on my property. They were chicken coops. Well, I took what was left of the chicken laying stations and placed them out in the field, so as not to get run over when the building came down.
As luck would have it, I had my brand new Savage .17HMR near as I surveyed my work at dusk the other night.
The field is a little high on the grass, since the cutting has not started yet.
Well, being of keen eye sight (NOT) I notice movement over by the laying station. At first I thought it was a cat. So I did not really think about it. Well, it turned out to be a skunk.
So, well. proper planning on my part. I call the misses to alert her I'll be shooting, and gently grab the rifle. Now this skunk has seen me, it's pretty close, really don't need the scope.
I take aim, and gently fire.
MISS.
Skunk looks up, and carries on.
WTH?
Aim again, and gently fire.
MISS.
Skunk looks up, and carries on.
At this point, I am out of ammo. Don't ask me why I only chamber two rounds.
I am taking the gun to the shop for sighting issues. I thought I had it dialed in nice the other week, but something is amiss.
The skunk, well, it deserves to live after that.
