Though it does remind me of one time during our shared pheasant/duck season my dad was walking into the parkinglot when a rooster lifted and flew strait into a tree branch killing itself
Unfortunately don't have the video to prove it, or I might make some money on it. Speaking a shooting coot does lead me to another good story. Slow day on the marsh nothing in the air, no one shooting. late in the morning there gets to be a ton of shooting going on, but we couldn't figure it out cause nothing was in the air. We pack up head back to the boat ramp and meet up with these guys in a small boat and start a conversation about the slow morning only to be informed they had a great morning shooting these black ducks, and informed us it was amazing as they were told they could shoot 15 of these black ducks a piece by the game warden. Of course the black ducks were coot. We still laugh about the great coot killers.
