I wanna Hit that Bird!
It’s out on a farm. It could be a ranch. There’s a goat there. Its summer or fall. It’s evening. Could be afternoon. The sky tells me it’s later in the day. Old fashioned times. Could be anytime. Now a days. There’s fog on the water. He’s shooting something. He has both hands on the gun.
He’s shooting a bird. Duck or Quail. He’s scaring away something that would bother whatever he is shooting at. He’s called “The Shooter.” I assume there’s people watching because I see something right there(pointing to left side of picture). The neighbors would come out to see what’s going on.
Family is there. There is a woman with a shoe on there. Could be two sons. One in the back. Married. Wife is living. He has a little boy. He does something to do with water because he has a water pail down there. He’s a farmer or rancher. I suspect he’s a good farmer/rancher because he’s been doing this for a while. About one year.
He gets along with his family. He tries to protect his family with the gun. He could be a friendly man. I like him just as well as anybody else. He’s trying to protect them from trouble. He may not be living there but just working there. This takes place out in the middle of nowhere. No grass, no vegetation, no water, just desert.
He dreams of getting a bird to eat. He dreams of getting a duck but there’s no water around there. Good luck! He drinks a beer and dreams about living in town. Then he hits a bird and goes out to pick it up. He does not have a dog to retrieve it. He’s not going to try to get rid of the animals for some reason. He does not know what to do with it. Shoot it, run it away, holler at it or what. He’s got a gun in the air and shooting the animal. So he would be trying to shoot the animal but he is too close to the animal to shoot with that long gun. He could hit it first before he could shoot it. We’ll see what kind of a shot he is or shooter. The animal is not scared because he’s not running.
