CINCINNATI (Cont'd from Page 3) and fires from four feet. The rabbit looked ot Tom and Tom glared back. Well, Tom took another shot and the bunny looked again and Tom glared back. The bunny got disgusted and ran off. Now this situation worried Tom through the years and approx imately eight years later, in March 1957, Tom wrote Don and asked if there could have been blanks in that .22?

Now I do not know if there is a moral to this story - except that it might be wise to be a little cagey around Don Woods. However,! now feel that 1 can go hunting again without the stigma attached to me as the “Man Who Missed Two Shots From Four Feet.*' As an afterthought, I wonder if that bunny ever did get shot because he sure ain't gun shy- after sitting there looking at a rifle fire two shots at him.
