Re: Strangest kill duck hunting

I was in a river blind...evrything was all froze up except fo the moving water...and saw this black form swimming across the river. At first I thought it was just a muskrat, but as it got closer, I saw it was actually a good size mink!

At that point I became an observer of nature! wink.gif The babbling brook...the freshly lain snow on the trees...one of God's quaint creatures in its natural abode!!!...until it reached shore and saw me!!!

Bared its teeth...let out this wicked hiss...and made a 'B'-line right for me!! blush.gif...talk about yer David and Goliath...except this time it was Goliath with the slingshot!

Let's just say his coat ain't waterproof no more frown.giffrown.gif

Re: Strangest kill duck hunting

couple come to mind:

one day sitting on the river with nothing going on, but later i could see some type of water fowl about 500 yards up the river. well i called and called, and called and those geese never moved. so my buddy waded out to pick up the deeks, and the geese didn't like that at all, or they thought we were other geese because they got up off the water and headed right for us!

we got 3 of them.

one other time, buddy and i put the guns up behind some brush and turned around to pick up the deeks out in the river, and we interrupted a bald eagle's final approach on one of the deeks. man, did he bug out as soon as he saw us. he nearly broke a wing trying to get out of there. grin.gif

Re: Strangest kill duck hunting

Well I have to re-type this story beacuse I had a rough time registering on realtree... but now I am so here it goes... One blue-day out in the duck blind.. not a thing going on... I was standing up stretching my legs when I was practicing calling and was challenged to a rendition of "Smoke on the Water".. as I was belting it out a single greeny mallard flew right at me-directly right at me.. I shot him and he landed right behind me in the canoe... It literally scared the poop out of me because I wasn't ready for him...It made such a large boom and I think the dog was mad though.... Good times... I laughed so hard...

I've had a few where you get the bird in hand and you can't find a mark on him. No holes, no blood, nothing. Almost like the concussion killed them.

One time I hit a pintail a good distance out. Went to pick it up but couldn't find it at all. The dog was swimming around also having a hard time finding it. Then she(my buddy's) kicked a big lily pad and the duck popped up. He was stone dead but being held under water by the lily pad!
