Larry, there's no delicate way to ask this, but were you adopted? If
so, was your real pappy a dashing young SabreTigger pilot?

Hehe .....

.....Both the stories ( dove
and duck ) in my last post had their 1 to 1 ratio because I'm patient enough
to wait for shots I can make ... something very few hunters I've met can do.
But, especially with ducks, if you wait stay hidden and don't try the
tougher shots you'll find that the easy ones happen far more often.

I suggest that anyone that wants to become a very good duck hunter ( as
opposed to shot) carry one shell/ duck in the limit, at least a few days
each season ... learning to only move and shoot when you feel certain you
can score is a lesson few hunters ever master

Fair advice, and your good grace my, er, what's the word...what's
the word....AHA! "fatuousness" with the shooting shtick is pretty
cool...OTOH, I notice you didn't answer the "who's yer daddy?"
question...G

TC,

I read a newspaper clipping about my dad when he was a boy, and
vouched to by the game warden. My dad brought down 5 ducks with one
shot of a 20 ga. The warden was watching, and said he did not believe
it was possible, but he saw it happen. The only problem with shooting
like that, was that then all he could do for the rest of the day was
set and watch the others blast away. Especially since the warden was
still watching! OvO
