Thread: hunting incompetence

had a moment last week, whilst out hunting rabbits, I pegged 1 literally walking into my shooting area before I'd even set up my hide/possie.
about 5 minutes later another presented itself at around 30 yards......lined it up in the sites pulled the trigger......nothing.
I made the critical error of not cycling the bolt after shooting the first rabbit.
As if by murphys law the noise of cycling the bolt spooked the rabbit and he gapped it before I could line him up again.
I may well have plugged him later but at 50 yards not the sitter at 30 hahaha them's the breaks, at least it wasn't the stag of a life time.
still shitted me and made me a little red faced
