Silver wings upon his chest...
« on: September 05, 2007, 08:04:00 PM »
Anyone else ever feel like Bill Murray from Caddyshack?

My neighbor has a groundhog eating his garden and undermining his shed.  Of course he knows my son and  I bowhunt and he wants me to sort it out.  I'm happy to help but so far Mr. Groundhog hasn't been.

I've had two shots at him and so far the score is groundhog 2 (one broken arrow and one broken broadhead), hunter 0.  My first missed shot I blame on excessive yard junk - I was able to thread my arrow through the first wheel barrow but apparently not the second.  The second shot was much better, but he dove for his hole a fraction of a second before I dropped the string.

Oh well - it's kind of nice sitting out there with a lawn chair and a book waiting for him.

ONE HUNDRED MEN! WE'LL TEST TODAY! BUT ONLY THREE WIN THE GREEN BERET!!

My Wife's Dad was a Green Beret. Two tours in Vietnam, 1969 & 1970  and Lord knows where else in the early 80's. His stories are insane. Like playing hot potato with a live rattlesnake in the NCO club at Ft. Bragg. They were real "cowboys" back then. He was busted in rank three times for stupid "antics" and still retired E-7.

I always thought it best to aim for the hole.  No matter where the critter is at the time you loose the string, he'll be at his hole by the time the arrow gets to where he was!

I missed my neighbor's groundhog 5 times, after that he got pretty slick. Since then I started multi-tasking. The next time I saw him, I was ready. While I drew and aimed, I was also alerting him to my presence. The spot I was aiming at was 6 or 7 feet in front of where I was shooting. As soon as I finished scaring him, I drop the string, and he starts running straight away for his hole. He runs from the spot I was aiming at, directly into the spot I was shooting at.... dead whistle pig.
I meant to do that....

Oddan, does it have to be Jack Daniels?  Won't some cheap vodka do?  I'd rather lose my garden than waste any Jack Daniels I might have around!
