Bwaaaahhhhaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!

I had a greenhead cup in the dekes saturday, shot him twice at 20 yds, greenhead left as if he wasn't hit, then fell down the ditchline about 50 yds. As he flew away, all i could say was, i knew i hit that damn duck. :lol: :lol: :lol:

"look at that dead duck fly"....
When you clean some of these that fly off without a single hint of being shot....look and see that they may be 2-3-4 steel pellets in the body...none in the neck....or wings....

so guess they run out of gasssssss.......
and the question is ????
how many more ducks do we loose.............

uncle walt & sam....
HUNT OVER AROUND MAHANNA, DELTA NATIONAL,VALLEY PARK, BELZONI, ISOLA, BENTON, EDWARDS,FITLER,

AND ANY WHERE ELSE THE DOG TELLS ME TO GO,.....

I've seen some of them "ghost" ducks, too. Shot them dead and they still flew off. I know they were dead cause I shot them three times! Dangdest thing you ever saw! Downright scary!

whats really troubling to Me is after 3 shots those dang comical ducks will drop a sign from their feet saying " Missed three times want to try for a fourth"....and the dang duck circles again laughing at ya.

I experienced a similar incident Sunday. We were hunting and I shot at a greenhead at about 35 yards, however he did ball up as if he were hit they began to fly as if nothing was wrong. He fell about 150 yards away at the edge of the water on our field and I sent my little bro after him yelling hurry up the whole way, just knowing the duck would be swimming and going under. When he got there the duck was stone cold dead. Go figure, I'm with you GH22 (I too was saying what the heck happened). The will to survive is a pretty impressive thing!
