One of those moments !!

Was up on bit of ground in Louth this morning in the dense fog trying to find some deer. Saw a shape in the growing light but couldnt make it out and when the fog cleared for 5 seconds nothing to be seen anywhere !!

Anyway moved on to another spot down the road and just before we pulled in saw 6 hinds head down grazing away bout 100 yds in off the road. Hopped out, grabbed rifle, insert magazine and try insert bolt !! Not a chance !!

When I tried to chamber a round the bolt would slide in but wouldnt close down, tried on an empty chamber, still nothing :mad: Took it out, all seemed clean and ok, blew down the chamber and shook it around, tried to close it again still woudnt :mad: Took it all apart and back together bout 10 times growing more and more frustrated, and was just bout throw it all on the ground in a fit of rage when it suddenly starts slide in and out beauifully like it always did :rolleyes: Needless to say the group of hinds were running across the field with a look of " not today boyo " on there faces !!

Time for breakfast roll and back home :mad:

I find as one grows older inanimate objects start to cause more and more in the way of potential frustration and anger:(

PS: Enjoy your roll - tasty food always helps in these situations;)

Well here is something similar:rolleyes:

Three/Four weeks was out stalking, my first day out, night before got everything ready, double checked in the morning. Stopped at a few of my spots, nothing. After a while I spotted a small Buck waaaaay up a side of a hill. Got ready for a walk, lost sight of the buck, was not really bothered nice day for a walk. After about 45 minutes came over the brow of the hill sure enough there he was grazing about 150 yrds. Slapped in magazine 3 rounds, put my hand down to my belt to get my bolt from the holster which I purchased here, sure enough the bolt from my 17HM fu--ing R was in the holster instead of my 308 Bolt.:o
