[QUOTE="seattleman1969, post: 1862099, member: 84285"] Gave that old deer a heart attack! On a separate note, love your profile pic. Morel season is almost upon us! I have a couple bird hunting stories... 1. Just after getting out of the Navy I stopped at my dad's place and it was last day of quail season. As we were catching up on the porch a covey flew in and lit about 30 yards from us so we grabbed the shotguns and went after them. Got a couple on the initial covey rise and then went after a single I saw land near the creek bottom brush 1oo yards away. As I walked up to the edge the bird flushed into the very thick central Tx brush, I could see him flying toward an opening, dropped to a knee and timed the shot as best I could through the narrow window, fired, and heard him hit the leaves. My dad said I was smoking something, no way I hit that bird. I had to belly crawl in to get it to show him... 2. Duck hunting a SE Texas swamp, my brother and I were on either side of the root wad of a downed tree in waist deep water on the edge of a tree line. Ducks would fly in down this narrow cut right in front of us. My brother called out a duck coming in fast from his side, I got my shotgun up and just as I saw the bird come past the root wad, I fired. He was so close I could have smacked him, but, instead I blew the entire head, neck, and front 1" of breast completely off the duck. [/QUOTE]
