Archery is like a bicycle.

yeah, it’s been a hundred thousand years since I shot a bow, but I apparently still have the ability. My new bow ROCKS! Between the morning and afternoon hunting sessions I spent some time at the archery range, and I can still put them in the X ring, though my skills could use some tuning out at 40 yards.

Well, fact is, I saw three deer first thing this morning. At the far left was the parking lkot where I saw them At the middle of the picture is where the deer were. I had no idea what was to the right, and I wasn’t taking any chances.

So what did I get for being responsible? Skunked.

Damn, this is disheartening.

I have been skunked inside and out
I have been skunked and it made me shout

I have been skunked upon a hill
the skunk, I think, is out there still

I have been skunked beside my car
I hadn’t gotten very far

the deer was standing in a road
and it got flattened like a toad

before I had a chance to fire
he met his end beneath a tire

I wish I had a deer to eat
they’re packed with loads of tasty meat

I’ve cleaned my rifle and put it away
I’ll shoot again another day
I have another chance, but then,
I’ll probably get skunked again.
