Can a guy cry if he finally got a shot at a certain pheasant and missed both times?
I went to this place where there is toi tois and kinda bushy/open stuff that I think pheasants would like so figured at 5 maybe he goes there to snooze in the trees around that area then I heard him take off from behind me but couldn't see him. SOunded pretty far though so I walked 400 or some meters down towards him back up the river when I thought I might as well go home it's getting dark (all clouded over about to piss down) so turned around when I heard a magpie. Hmmm I'm gonna shoot them I haven't shot a magpie in ages. So I head over to the tree they were in when he comes flying out of the tree they were in and BOOM miss fuck BOOM miss. If it was a movie the next 10 mintues would be beeeeeeepppppppppp. I'm going to pattern the gun tomorrow cause going off my shooting during duck shooting he should be dead so gonna check to make sure it isn't this new ammo thats the problem. Hope it's the ammo/choke combination thats wrong. If it was me just missing then I think I might actually get a tear in my eye.
Hate to say it Toby but I have generally found in life that the operator is usually the cause of "issues" rather than the equipment as much as I prefer the other way round. I bet you lifted your head for the second shot.
