About Me
- Redleg
- From Nebraska, went to VMI for a "unique" college experience. Got that in spades. Entered the US Army as a 13A (Field Artillery Officer). Been all over the world, been in Iraq. Got Married and loving the married life. I LOVE artillery! I love the crumps and BOOMS and the way the ground shakes when the rounds hit.

You wish you had a gun like this!

Only the US Army would be insane enough to first think that you could shoot an Atom Bomb out of a cannon and then actually DO it.

ReplyDeleteWhat really surprises me is how noisy deer are; we've got 'em crossing the parking lot at work about 7pm (not allowed to shoot 'em though) and they're far from stealth. I'd've thought they'd be sneaky critters.
ReplyDeleteYou would think that, but they certainly are not. Where the difference comes in between humans and deer is that they are less noisy than humans when both are moving around. When the humans are not moving, deer are noisy as all get out. Deer also show much more patience when moving around, they will take their time moving through brush. They may make noise while doing it, but its still less than a typical human forcing his way through. But I have heard every deer I have ever shot coming before I saw them.
ReplyDeleteAnd they are also in season during deer season, so their minds are not focused so much on being quite as they are picking up scents and following the does. So the old adage about thinking with the wrong head gets you in trouble is especially true when deer are involved.
