It snowed last night. It usually doesn't snow in South Louisiana. My cousin and I are supposed to head to my camp later today, I hope the bridges aren't closed. The roads are probably iced up, I'll have to drive very slow.

This was more like one of those Daniel Boone anecdotes. When asked if he had ever been lost in the woods, H would say "There were times I was bewildered for three or four days but I was never lost!"
So I might have thought I wanted to shoot the bear but I was obviously subconsciously aiming at the Cicada in the tree because that's what I hit!

Tobias,
I liked the bear/wolf story better. Claiming that you were aiming at (and hit) the noisy cicada perched on a tree trunk 150 yards away, blowing it to smithereens, as you might claim, isn't as thrilling.

Well now, not to brag but I’ve always hit what I aim at. Now on occasion I might be aiming at something other than what I thought wanted to hit but I never miss what I was aiming at.

Good point Robert, I missed one just about like that years ago.

You bet I've missed but I'd rather a clean miss than a wounded deer. I always try for a clean kill and that sometimes makes for a harder shot. Yesterday was one of those, all I could see was the neck and head, so I tried for the base of his neck. I knew it would be a dead deer or a clean miss. Well, it was a clean miss.
I always say "that's why they call it hunting and not killing".

The Truth will set you free Robert. But you probably will get a hard time over that. Being the Veteran hunter you are. Everyone has missed at some time.
