Temptation Sucks!
« on: November 10, 2003, 06:23:40 AM »
I was sitting in the woods this weekend with my
.17 HMR hoping to eliminate some of the "Critters"
that keep raiding my garbage cans. When out walks a
nice fat Georgia Whitetail buck. Not a trophy by any means,
but not bad. So here I am at about 30 yard with my
crosshairs right in the middle of his right eye!
Would it kill him I thought?  No Doubt!
LEGAL I THOUGHT?   NOPE!
DO IT ANYWAY I THOUGHT? BETTER NOT!
Angel on one shoulder, Devil on the other kind of thing going on!
So I stomped my foot to run it off.
It only ran about 30 yards!
I went through all of the should I's all over again before it
finally walked back into the woods.
Man that was almost too much temptation for an old fat
Georgia boy to resist!!!
I'll bet I would have been the first person to kill a whitetail with a .17 HMR
though!!!

Good call, you more than likely would have wounded it and it would have suffered. Great men do great things when no one is looking...Salute to you bro.  :wink:
