Deer Hunting Part 2: A Lunch Box, A Car & A Box of Bullets

He left camp early and drove down the road to the field road near where he planned to hunt that day. It was just a short walk to the tree stand and he wanted to be in the stand well before the dawn fog lifted. Jessie made sure he had everything he needed, rifle, ammunition (20 rounds - I think), hot drink, and lunch box. He was settled in, as the fog slowly began to lift. He scanned the almost invisible field in front of him. At first, Jessie was not sure what he was seeing ....... there in the middle of the field was something ...... something big ...... rubbing his eyes ...... he could not believe it ...... there in the middle of the field was the biggest buck he had ever seen ...... the fog continued to lift ...... then next to the buck was another deer .... and another ..... and another ...... a herd of deer were just standing out there eating quietly ....... Jessie's heart began to pound ..... he was sure that the deer could hear it ...... slowly he shakily raised his rifle and fired .... and fired .... and fired, until he ran out of ammunition ..... the deer had scattered ...... all except one ...... apparently with all the shooting he had hit one of them in the leg ...... Jessie grabbed his lunch box and threw it at the deer ...... the deer just looked at him ....... down out of the tree Jessie flew........down the road, jumping in his car, he headed for the store that was just down the road where he could get more ammunition ...... flying down the road, when suddenly that large buck and several of the other deer began crossing the road ...... Jessie accelerated, aiming his car for the buck ...... luck was just not with him ..... the car bounced a little off the road ....... but the deer got away ..... he continued on down the road to the store ..... bought some ammunition and headed back up the road .... as he slid back to a stop ...... he observed the farmer's son walk up to the deer and shoot it ...... when we asked why he didn't take time with that first shot ...... He laughed and said there were so many deer that he thought that there was just no way he could miss them. If I remember correctly, the farmer's son was good natured about it and gave the deer to Jessie, since he made it possible for him to just walk up and shoot it.
