I was out pheasant hunting for the first time. I was one bird short of my limit and my friend hadn't gotten one yet. We're really competitive, I was thinking I could give him crap for a week if he got skunked and I got my limit. I'm looking to the right and then turn to the left to see him just about to take a perfect shot on a pheasant flying right towards us.

I didn't have much time, shot from the hip with my old model 12 and nailed it. Unfortunately my friend did get one when we were walking out of the field.
