No doubt the tanning your Dad gave you was almost secondary to the shock of seeing that cow with a spear that you threw sticking out of her head.

Accidentally killed a starling once. I used to hunt them with my slingshot as often as possible, but never successfully. Then one day I was just kind of knocking around. I had a big awkwardly shaped rock that I half-heartedly tossed sidearm at starling that was in my mom's garden. Nailed him flat. It made me feel pretty stupid and wasteful.
 
Yeah those milk cow were like solid gold and loosing one would have been bad news. I seemed to have learned a lot of those lessons the hard way. The sight of the blood spraying all over is something I still recall well, I am not sure what would have happened had it not stuck in the horn and had hit the skull it's self.

I made a lot of sling shots too and hunted frogs and stuff with them and my BB gun. You had to pay attention to my dad when he told you something because he was not fond of having to tell you twice.
