StrayDog: Funny things happen. One of the stories that gets told alot at the Alberta camp I hunt out of,is about the lad(who had a reputation for having things go sorta "wrong") who shot a big whitetail with a 300 mag.He poked the deer in the eye with the muzzle to be sure it was dead....
The buck, only stunned,jumped up and his antlers got wrapped in the sling,yanking the rifle from the hunters hands.A rodeo ensued with the buck trying to get the rifle off his head,slammimg the rifle repeatedly into the dirt.
I guess the rifle was "hot" at this point,safety on,and the kid beat a hasty retreat,sought out his father and Merlin,ran up to the truck and repeatedly asked his father...."GIMME YOUR RIFLE"...but would not say "why".....
The father,knowing the kid,said "what'd you do now!!!where is your GD rifle???",to which the kid finally, in exasperation,replied....." The DEER has my PHUGCKIN" RIFLE!!!"
