Sitting around the TV talking about the pellet gun and all the chimpmunks eating up the garden.
Dad asks if he told me how last year he killed a deer with a pellet gun. I said No.
Dad says, (now winter) there was a doe grazing in the yard eating the blueberry bushes and wanted to scare her off as not to eat any of the bush. Grabbed the Benjamin pump .20cal air rifle and took a shot. She stayed there for a moment, kind of stumbled and sat down there in the snow. Looked at her “that’s odd” and yelled to shoo her away. He stayed and went inside. Hours later he looked to see her still there. A full day had passed and finally she was dead in the same spot.
He assessed the situation and realized the pellet punctured her Lung. The gun was not over pumped. Be careful with your air rifles boys. I felt terrible for the deer to go in such a slow way. Interesting story I thought I’d share.
