Title: Finally got my first duck.
Post by: biggfish on December 12, 2013, 10:50:52 PM
It was a wet, cold, miserable day, with very little action in Elma today.  I nailed a canvasback hen twice but she must have had her flak jacket on.  I thought it was just going to be another unsuccessful day.  Several hours later a lone drake mallard swam into the decoys and I thought it was a really life like decoy until it turned its head.  I jumped out of my seat and nailed it at least twice out of three shots his wing went into the as if it were calling time out.  I reloaded while my partner fired three more shots into him.  I jumped out of the blind and shot him again but he made it onto land and into a thicket I shot once more through the branches, yet that still didn't kill him. He put up one heck of a fight but in the end it is in my fridge.

Some days you just can't kill em.  Don't worry other days they'll drop like flies.  Great job and congratulations on your first duck.

God bless!

That duck was most likely a super soldier experiment!
Very nice for a first duck!
