It was a prank. At least the prankster thought so. He had a good laugh about it when I got back to camp with a deer with two bullet holes in the guts and was giving me a real hard time about being such a lousy shot. When he finally confessed to the deed I told him he was an ass hole and he got real offended and said I was a jerk because I couldn't take a joke.

Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery.
Hit the target, all else is twaddle!
