If a bullet hits my house, I'm calling the cops.
It is amazing what a bullet is capable of. I hunt near the back of a farm and look out over a small field (150 yards to the back fence). The farm behind me, got subdivided about 10 years ago into 25 acre lots. They built one house about 8 years ago and now they're building another, so I'm careful where I shoot. Out in the field, about 20 yards from the back fence, there's a tree with an old beer keg in it that we used to shoot at. We have to use a shotgun with slugs here. A couple of years ago, I shot an 8 point, but got a spine shot on him. He was down laying in the grass about 50 yards from me and sitting up. A neck shot was my only option to kill him. There was a slight grade going up behind the deer. The grass was long and hadn't been mowed in a while. The dew was heavy that morning and the grass was real wet. I took the shot and missed. Looking through the scope, I could see the slug hit the wet grass and it sent out a spray of water. A split second later, I heard the slug hit the beer keg 100 yards further away. That new house is now sitting directly in line with where that slug went that morning.
