RE: I CONNECTED WITH MY FIRST DUCK TODAY
Cool! I've only duck hunted for one season, but I'm sure looking forward to this upcoming season! Last year, I had absolutely no interest in hunting of any kind. A guy I work with insisted that I go with him sometime. I had a 12 guage Mossberg 500 that I'd had for 5 years and shot two or three times. So I went and even though we didn't get anything that day, I was hooked. I probably went 10 times before I actually shot one. We had shot at some ducks that were really close and I hadn't got one yet. Anyways, I went out by myself one day and a duck flew by. I fired off the first two rounds and he was really moving fast. I figured he would be like all the others and just keep on going. But on the third shot, he dropped like a rock. I couldn't believe it! Was pretty exciting. It was one of those hard ones though where the duck wasn't all the way dead yet. I had to remember what my buddy told me about wringing its neck. Got it on the first try thankfully! I got a few more last season. I probably went to the lake every single Saturday morning. MY wife didn't mind since I was usually home around noon. Anyways, over the off season, I've been collecting duck hunting gear. I've got enough ammo for the whole season, new hunting clothes, decoys, calls, I can't wait! Matt
