Rabbit gone......Corn instead

Well here's another rabbit story. Hunting at my father-in-law's and that day using the H&R single shot 20ga. They had picked six rows of corn along the edge of the woods so one could do some still hunting down this picked path. Well most of the time along this path I would catch the squirrels coming and going from the corn. Well I'm taking my casual walk along here when a rabbit comes from the edge of the woods toward the corn. So I swung on the rabbit at the same time as I'm cocking the hammer and sent a load of #6s his way. But I missed and had shot behind it. So I stood there and heard the rabbit continue through the corn. Oh well I have another 150 yard of waking this path so I reloaded and walked on. As I am walking ever so slowly I start to hear the sound crack. I walk a little further I hear crack again. Another step or two crack crack and crack again. This is coming from behind me and about where I had shot previously. So I stopped and turned around to watch in like slow motion a lone. Let me repeat one lone corn stalk with several ears on it slowly fall over. Yep I missed that rabbit and bagged a stalk of corn instead. Told the father-in-law and I thought he was going to mess himself from laughing so hard.
