So I'm watching the Sportsman's channel.......
« on: September 03, 2007, 10:12:22 PM »
 and I'm watching this man and wife "professional" hunters on a hunt at a ranch in Texas.  The man and wife supposedly run a similar opperation in New Mexico.  Anyway, the man heads out to hunt white tail deer and the wife goes off to hunt some imported African antelope.  The man sets up in an elevated blind and as he's about to shoot a nice big buck about 100 yards away, he puts the barrel of the rifle on the window sill of the blind to take the shot.  Can you guess what happens?

Now, lets go find his wife.  Wifey is up in a hilly area when she spots a really nice African type antelope.  She has some of those "steady stick" that you rest your rifle on so you can steady your rifle better and thus get a better shot off.  She puts out her steady sticks and places the barrel of her rifle on the sticks and lines up on the Antelope which is maybe 300 yards away.  Open terrain and the animal is lined up perfectly for a clean shot to the vitals.  Can you guess what happened?

Yep!  You are today's winner, LP!   ;D

Both shot low and both couldn't figure out why they missed.  ::)

In fact the guide with the lady tried to console her by saying that was a long hard shot.  He didn't even bother to look what she was doing.  But then again she is supposed to be a "professional", and should know how to shoot!

I've been watching that channel and it's alot of advertizing for doe in heat wee-wee and grow you buck's big bait. Sitting in a tower in front of a feeder is not my idea of hunting. I'd rather go into the mountains and learn what the animals do and come back empty handed...not that I want to...
