Success At Last For Florida Man

November 13, 2008



I guess this one means more to me than a lot of others, since I had a heart attack about three months ago, and was getting strength back slowly…At the start of the season, it was good that I didn’t get one, since I would have had to drive back to get help to get him out….But, I slowly and surely got back more strength each day until the day before I got this rascal, I told a friend that I finally felt like I had enough strength to go back in and haul one out! And the next day, I did! Even funnier, was the day before I got this fellow, I had taken my old 94 .30-30, and somehow when a buck came by, I couldn’t see my front sight….(it was overcast, and in deep woods…and the sight had a hood over it) So, even though I couldn’t see my front sight, I knew it was pointing right..and pulled the trigger..That’s when I heard the most sickening sound in the woods……..click!…Somehow when I thought I had levered a round in the chamber, I hadn’t…So, still thinking positive about it, I figured there must have been a good reason…maybe another, bigger deer on the way…and the next day, there was!

    That jasper has the same story as me….we must of crossed paths somewhere in the swamps….but he looks more like Hitler than a dutchman like myself..And I ALWAYS check my rifle, just to make sure there’s a shell in the chamber..(maybe his rifle malfunctioned….must not have cleaned it recently) Guess it worked out for the best, anyway….Bet he fixed the sights and cleaned that rascal the next day! LOL…
