One day out on the salt marsh
i am duck hunting and i am on the inside of a tree
area that blocked a lone duck from seeing me...
i hear the whistling of wings from way off
having phenomenal hearing
so...i wait and wait...still no duck.....
Finally there he is and by the time i got a bead on him
i was actually leaning backwards
and squeezed off a shot...
that duck was tumbling and fluttering down
so i laid down the gun and started running like an idiot
trying to intercept the duck thinking i could catch it
right out of the air like a Thom Brady long bomb pass
what the hell was i thinking?????
that i was Randy Moss
i get to where its coming in for a landing
i have my hands ready for the catch
and at the very last second
i said (thought) no friggan way dude
and the duck smashes into the marsh
with a huge
loud thud !
i easily would have broken my wrists or hands.
that was the last time
i ever tried something so Dumb,
but it was one hell of a shot.
