How I Used My New Box of Shells

  • Shot #1 — Missed target completely at 100 yards. Rifle needed scope adjusted.
  • Shot #2 — Hit target in lower right-hand corner–from 10 yards.
  • Shot #3 — Bull’s-eye–after getting rifle back from gunsmith who sighted it in.
  • Shot #4 — Accidentally pulled trigger while loading rifle in vehicle, will repair transmission when I get home.
  • Shot #5 — Fired into air to signal start of drive. Fined $200 by game warden for killing a turkey.
  • Shot #6 — The excitement of seeing my first deer caused me to fire before rifle was to my shoulder– I only had to replace left boot.
  • Shot #7 — Missed deer completely, not so sure about cow across the field.
  • Shot #8 — To clean mud from barrel after falling over cliff while being chased by farmer. Now I’m sure about cow.
  • Shot #9 — Slipped and fell while crossing stream. Buddy says I’ll have to replace his hunting cap and also pay for having his underwear washed.
  • Shot #10 — Forgot can opener. Opened a can of pork and beans. The few beans that were left tasted too much like gunpowder to eat them.
  • Shot #11 — Shot too low at deer, glanced off rock and wounded a chipmunk.
  • Shot #12 — Finished off wounded chipmunk.
  • Shot #13 — Checked scope again, hit big bucket hanging on pole. Hope people get electricity back soon.
  • Shot #14 — At deer moving through brush, I’d never heard some of the words that it used.
  • Shot #15 — To check scope again after being hit on the head with my own rifle.
  • Shot #16 — Knocked buck down but didn’t go to claim it when game warden tried to arrest a nearby hunter for killing a doe.
  • Shot #17 — Gun accidentally fired while dragging it under fence. Have to replace right boot now.
  • Shot #18 — Won a $1.00 bet from buddy who said I couldn’t hit a junked car on other hill. Hot radiators sure do make a lot of steam.
  • Shot #19 — Killed running buck with 3-inch spike at 625 yards. It takes skill to be a good hunter.
  • Shot #20 — Save till I get home and use it on a mouse in my pantry.
