FUNNY story, had to use my OLD single shot 20 gage! Went to my Dads on Thusday to take a couple "check shots" on the scope on my Mossberg. Well, I was talking to my Dad and his friend on Thursday before I left, not realizing I had left my Mossberg there. So, this morning I get up and get everything ready, get dressed and walk over to the gun cabinet to get the Mossberg......IT HIT ME! IT"S STILL LAYING IN MY DADS SHOP!! AAARGH~! So, I look and there's 2 shotguns in there, the Weatherby Athena and the "OLD SINGLE SHOT 20 gage" Well with no time to go to dads an hour away I take the old faithful 20 with me, not wanting to put a slug through that beautiful Athena. Right at 8:00 am I looked to the sky and said a prayer as I always do when on the stand, I asked God to present the will to find a nice deer for me to harvest. I opened my eyes and there he stood, 40 yards and moving in at an angle....he got to 20 yards, wide open shot and I got him at 8:05 am. Minimal tracking with NO BLOOD TRAIL, he didn't bleed for the first 35 yards, then went down in 15 more yards, double lung shot. Took him to the check in station and had him weighed. I about dropped one in my pants when the scale settled on 198 POUNDS FIELD DRESSED!!!! People say there ain't no deer in Granger!!! HAHAHA Fuzzy Here's pics!   LOOK OUT JEFF DANIELS! Put on the Onions and Lard honey I'm bringin home a buck! (Escanaba in da Moon light)  |

Umm, Fuzzy, did no one tell you that you AREN'T supposed to cut your thumb when you are gutting a deer?? ;D Great buck, BTW. Not sure what's up with the double lung shots that don't bleed for the first few yards. My deer was that way today I think... I didn't back trail too much 'cause I already knew where it was!  |

danf,
On mine, when the slug went through, on the exit side, there was about a 6 inch piece of lung on the exit wound. I wonder if it didn't plug the wound until he brushed against something.
OH YEAH, FIRST TIME EVER I cut my self field dressing and it was on the VERY first cut! (Like that field bandage ? LOL!

Decatur,
I promise, you won't be disappointed! ALTHOUGH, your sides WILL hurt from laughing! One of my copies has been autographed by the main cast of the movie.

Nice buck !
The first part of the movie was excellent but what happened in the last 1/2 hour? It 's like someone new finished writing it or something ?
Worth a watch for sure.
