well genteman this evening i changed straegy and decided to use a slug load for this evenings deer hunt...was using the 8 ga parker...the slug load was a 10 ga slug i borrowed from a 3 1/2 in shell...it worked fine on paper....well i got to my stand at 4.00 pm at 4.45 the big doe walked by my stand and started grazing...she was a little nervous but soon settled down....she was a large doe and she was by her self....shes was at about 50 steps so i had to wait hoping she would come closer...she finally came within about 20 steps...i already had the hammer back on the right barrel...i took a good aim on her shoulder then squezed the trigger...what a surprise i got the primer went off with little more than fizzle...that 1 3/4 ounce slug never even got to the doe..it just barely got out of the barrel...well needless to say the doe didnt give me a 2nd chance..she throwed up that big flag an said see you later...i didnt know weather to be mad or laugh i decided just to laugh..i guess thats why they call it hunting....when i got home i checked my other slug load..i had forgot to seal the slug with hot glue....but you know what through error im learninh every day and its made a good story for you fellas... hope this makes your evening it did mine.... charlie
