I had just settled in for the evening, long day at work and got home and work in my airgun shop for a spell. So I'm standing in my kitchen, pouring myself a cup of java and as I looked out the window there he is, another nutter at the feeder's. I thought about this for a moment, the icebox is empty again so I better get after this. No time to put on any camo , just grabbed the CFX.22 and some Predators and out the door in my sweat bottom's and some slipper's hehe. As I come around the corner he spot's me and head's for the fence, up and over and out into the field. Well here I go after him, flip flop flip flop go my slipper's and over the fence I go losing a slipper in the process. All is silent as I crouch in the field looking for movement in the tall wheat and then movement out at about 30yrd's. I watched as he made his way up onto a old stump , I gess to get a better view of the predator. I slowly cocked and loaded a Predator and set the crosshair's on his head and at that moment just before my release he stood up on his haunches. I dropped the crosshair's to his side to hit the important internal's and let it fly. In a silent field one can hear the sound of a good impact and I watched as he tumbled off the stump and into the wheat. I get up and head for his local, my one barefoot getting stuck by the dry wheat and as I reach the stump I can see blood on the top and there just behind it lay's tommorrow's lunch. I grab my game and hobble back home, counting my paces, ouch!. 37yrd's and a sore foot. Found my other slipper, got over the fence and cleaned my game. Got a pic just before sunset, life is good. Ed

That is some serious dedication!
Well done. It's nice to know I'm not the only one that finds himself hunting in less than appropriate attire.
