Thread: And still a little boy waits........

Yeah........ "nearly shot a pig" pretty much describes it about as accurately as I could hope to put it! My mate was in front of me ever so slightly, but off to the left by a fair bit, and I didn't take it because he was still "in front" of me....... had its head in the crosshairs the whole time....... My mate also had his bow, so I was also kinda thinking it might be the only chance he would get.......I let him take the shot and he missed!!!! So yeah Scribe, I almost shot a pig!!!.........so, so close........but I still think it was the right choice.

It makes you smile too when you hear a young teenager say 'I almost caught a fish I had a big bite'

Its an enthusiasm that is contagious and that is no bad thing is it.

Bloody right. There are not many places i go or activities that i take part in where i can completely relax and switch off from the bullshit of life but in the hills or in the bush hunting is just magic for the mind.
