Today after school I decided to go on a little pest control outing,Igrabbed my Shadow,Copperhead premeir Hp's,my camo coat,and my hat,and went outside. I first checked to see if my scope was still hitting the same spot over and over,It was. So i went and checked the front bushes(sparrow haven),At first I saw nothing,Then i saw it,a little twitch,then 6 more...I was already loaded and made the stalk to 12 yards. I thought,its now or never. And rested my gun on the terrace for the plants in summer,Rested my crosshairs on the sparrows chest and thwack!,One down,Did the same for the next, But the third one was a little tougher, I had to circle around,and then wacked him in the chest,went to pick them up and only found two,So I looked around,nothin. well then I looked around for another sparrow,There in the tree was three sparrows,i placed the crosshairs on Ones chest,and prepared for the 23 yard shot,Bang,ting!,Missed and hit a limb,figured i had the scope zoomed to much,so went down to 6x(it was on 9x),and placed the crosshairs on anothers chest,bang thwack!."Miss?,but I heard the "sound",No hes falling" he then started hopping,i guess i wounded him,so I put another in him,I hate when that happens,so i go inside,gt the camera,gather my three birds and take a few pics,put the camera away,and hunted more(not really hunting,just walking,figured i would give the guys a break.),went over and looked for the bird I lost earlier,I found him! He was in front of my face the whole time,hanging on a brach,dead,so i got the camera back out and took a picture of him,I think these were last springs babies,because they were dumb,hehe.
