Well...it's not exactly a Dove....

Oh, yes, he did.  Again.  When the birds quit flying, Bruce decided to try to call up a bobcat.  Again.  In an earlier post, I showed you the first one.  He said at first, he didn't see a thing.  Zero.  Squat nuthin'.  Then right as he was about to quit calling, he saw something at the base of a tree, sitting.... right... there.... just itching to be shot at.  He said this one took two shots and it tore it up a little, but not so much that one of Brian "Crashman" Harris's pal's, Jeff, still wanted it.  Jeff's a Marine so I guess that figures.  Bruce said when he got back to the big house and walked in with it, Brian just started laughing and shook his head.  Those two are each others biggest fan.  They are legends in their own minds.

When Bruce asked Brian how the hunting / shooting had gone, Brian said he'd had some trouble seeing clearly with his right eye, since that's the eye that suffered some permanent damage in his motorcycle crash.  He's always been the best shot in the family and we always called him Dead Eye Harris.  He said he decided to try shooting more with his left eye as the predominant eye and he got a dove just fine so his plan is to switch eyes.  Please.  I couldn't hit my car in the driveway, and he can hit a flying bird with his non-dominant eye.  C'mon. 

Bruce said using a shot gun you use both eyes, just one more than the other--with a rifle you use one.  Deer season ought to be real interesting.
