Oh your telling me I never leave home without one 😡. I’d been gone for a couple weeks and everything was locked up tight in the safe.

This reminds me of when driving to my spot a few weeks ago 4 deer almost ran into the side of the truck (one fawn was INCHES from the front bumper  :yike: he said if I didn’t point out the deer to him he would have hit atleast one of them) and my father-in-law was like “I was about to let one in and bam, there’s our deer for the year”  :chuckle:

Yep, something like that happened to me this year. Left the rifle in the car, took the shotgun and walked behind the gate to shoot a couple grouse before I'd go to my spot in the evening. Had 3 #6 birdshot shotshells in the shotgun and only walked like 300 yards and baaaaaaam, the bear is right in the middle of the logging road 40 yards away from me. I started putting the slugs in, but he disappeared in seconds  :bash: :bash: :bash: :bash: :bash: :bash: 

You could've shot the cat with a handgun tho  :dunno:
