Re: a typical hunt for shikari shambhu
Believe me, there have been many times that I have wanted to do this.5:00 P.M. Empty gun on squirrel that is bugging you. Miss.
You can be sitting there minding your own business, trying to imitate a stump, waiting for deer to walk by....... and here comes this single minded squirrel hunting for nuts, when he notices you from about three feet away. It scares the crap out of him and shoots up the nearest tree. Now, since he thinks that its your fault for scaring him, he sits there scolding you, chittering and chattering at the top of his voice. You know that as long he's making a fuss like that no deer is going to come near the place. I have put the gun on him and said "bang" but have always refrained from pulling the trigger.
