Boone vs. Bozo

Given his reputation for accuracy, Daniel Boone no doubt practiced with his Kentucky rifle til the hide wore off it.

Following Brother Boone's fine example, I decided on Saturday to fine tune my BB gun skills in order to eliminate some nuisance birds that have been chasing off more photogenic subjects at the bird feeder in the back yard.

I found a proper gun rest on the back porch and deposited a tin can at the base of the feeder in order to have the proper range. Imagine how my confidence built as BB after BB plinked the can without a miss!

Suddenly an offending party lit on the top of the metal feeder. Junior Boone leveled his instrument of death square on the varmit and slowly squeezed the trigger to loose the stored energy propelling the shiny projectile...... and shot square into the glass cover on the front of the feeder which allows one to see the amount of feed remaining.

The hole in the glass is the size of a quarter and the damn bird is still laughing his butt off?
