went out jump shooting this afternoon. i was walking a ditch when about 25 yards in front of me 2 mallards jumped up. i pulled on the drake which was flying directly away from me and pulled the trigger. i hit him hard, he almost did a flip and a ton of feathers come out, he kept beating his wings though so i decided to hit him again to make sure. this time he folded and started falling straight towrds the ground

dead duck right... wrong, about 3 feet before he hit the ground he decided to open his wings agan and fly off into the sun set

all i could do is stand there with my mouth open in awe at the amount of punishment that bird had taken while still being able to fly away.
o-well ducks never sease to amaze me and I hope they never stop
on the bright side i took 6 shots today and hit the bird 4 of those shots so it looks like im starting to get my confidence back
