RE: Funny duck hunting story
ORIGINAL: Alsatian This reminds me of another story, this time about my deceased father-in-law. The story was he went out duck hunting locally in his small town in Oklahoma with a friend. Well, as things turned out, as they crept up on the edge of the marsh there were a mess of ducks already sitting on the water. They stood up and let fire on those ducks sitting on the water. Then some men came boiling out of a duck blind they had evidently not seen, very angry that they were shooting their decoys!!!! My mother-in-law had a small cafe that she operated in that same small town, and those duck hunters from the blind came into her cafe for breakfast that morning and were cussing those unknown hunters who had shot at their decoys to my mother-in-law who had already heard the story from her husband! I would choke slam someone if they pulled that crap on me. No disrespect to the man who has passed away. but you can get people killed pulling that kind of stuff. None the less it is kind of funny, reminds me of people tagging a "cow elk" but it was just some guys horse. |
RE: Funny duck hunting story

RE: Funny duck hunting story
ORIGINAL: Alsatian Sorry to get you ruffled, mike2355. I wasn't involved in the second event, and no I wouldn't have done that. And I agree with you, these guys were not hunters. Pretty unsporting to take birds sitting on the water. But . . . there is a funny element to that story!!! |

Then I noticed a green winged teal much closer, not more than 5 yards away, sitting very still right next to the edge of the brush! I froze solid. I checked my watch, but it seemed there was another 5 minutes to go for legal shooting. Finally, I decided the time had come and I strode out into the marsh, spashing through the water, ready to lift my gun as the teal took off the water . . . but the bird didn't get up!!! Then I saw that it was a teal decoy that had drifted away from the previous evenings hunt! Joke was on me. Another funny thing was that during the remainder of that mornings hunt I kept looking at that decoy because I felt for sure I had seen it moving.
Many thanks to ur post. I love it. |
To put this thread back on track here is a good one that happened to my father and I. One coot flying from our left, one coot flying from our right. Intersection right in the middle of our decoy spread. They collide mid air. Both fall stone cold dead. We couldn't stop laughing the entire morning.

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 |

The truth is they had two birds flying into their decoy spread, they up and shot both, just to find out they were coots, so the concocted this story.
