Garden thief no more...

[Tom]

Thursday my wife came in to tell me a groundhog was out in her garden,I hadn't seen any this year although I've killed several in the past. Understand that this garden is her equivalent of my hunting efforts-obsessive is a mild adjective. Our daughter is getting married and this garden is supplying the bouquets.
 So I sit on the patio and sure enough here comes the little begger. I move slightly and he jets for his hole-right under my bow target. So I go to our bedroom(second story)and slide the window open and sit with '61 Kodiak and GT 3555 with snuffer waiting him out. Knew he would be out as it was evening and this would be his snack time.
  Lo and beold here he comes along the side of the house.I slowly draw back and let loose. A loud crack snaps my attention away from the shot. I must have hit the window frame with the upper limb which caused me to miss my spot by an inch or so. But it didn't matter as it was all over.

Great "shot", Tom.      

The story was very intersting to read.  Hope to hear more.  Congrats on saving your wife's flowers.

Great story and pic!  So....don't suppose any 3555's will find their way into the wedding decorations as a tribute...?

Yes, Don suspect you mght have first hand experience with the bow. Still doing its job nearly 50 years later.
Hope there are a few more around as a small target tends towards confidence.Have killed garbage raiding possums,racoons,and a few squirrels trying to invade the roof.All this in small town USA.
 Yes, the flowers survived to entice another day.

Nice shooting.  Some elevated blind practice to get ready for fall.
