...One about Treasure? Well this isn't the Borderlands opening cut scene so no your not going to hear about treasure and if you're really that dissapointed then i'll tell another story later involving treasure just for you...
But back to the story: I went hunting this week. Nothing too special happened the first 2 days. A simple afternoon in the stand, re-reading The Hunger Games since my sister loaned it to me on Kindle, drinking a Dr. Pepper, and not seeing a single deer. Then we go to another lease that we hunt on. Day one there, same scenario but this time, does out the wazoo. A lot were looking good at the two feeders we had, but we were being greedy. I wouldn't shoot until i saw at least 1 buck. Finally, one came out for about 3 seconds. He came in, turned to me, then turned around and left. Bummer. I look over at the does at the other feeder. All gone. i was pretty dissapointed. But i didn't give up. The next morning (this morning) around 5:30 AM i got up in my ghillie suit, had a cross-draw vest on with 10 turkey-shot 20 Gauge shells and my trusty Glock inside it, and went and hid in some, rather painful, thorn bushes. I sat there, from dark till dawn, and saw absolutely nothing except for this cute little squirrel which was like 2 inches away from me nibbling on what seemed like tree bark. What seemed like 2 hours later (actually 45 minutes) i hear twigs crunching behind me. I think "Oh boy! Deer!" so i wait, and wait, and after about 20 minutes of waiting nothing comes out. I nearly give up and come out of my spot in the trees because of my bad luck and because of how chilled the air has gotten because of the wind, when a decent sized doe walks out by the feeder. I'm telling you i was literally 2 feet from her. Its at this point when you forget your hunting because you get caught up in the beauty of nature. But eventually i snapped out of it and reached for my shotgun. while i was reaching for it, my hand got cut on a thorn bush which made me flinch. The doe saw it stared me in the eyes, and without thinking i grabbed my shotgun and pulled the trigger. 2 problems with this.
A)That was stupid because the deer would have been gone in less than 2 seconds.
B)The safety was on :facewall:
Alright so what have we learned kiddies? A) don't be an idiot when you go hunting. B) The safety sucks in most cases that i deal with *see above* C) I should have brought my AK-47 -_-
Thank you for reading my very very VERY long story, and congrats to those who got those awards that i missed. Anyone want to fill me in on whatever else i missed, please go right ahead.
