re: Give your best outdoor story, Wed, OB cooking drinking thread!

A fellow poster and me were hunting a bullrush break killing ducks. I heard some land in front of him so I was trying to be still. I saw a squirrel across the creek and was going to wait for him to shoot then dust the rat. He took so long my hands got cold so I put them in my pockets. When I did he shot once then a few seconds later he shot twice. I didn't shoot the squirrel. I asked him what took so long to shoot those ducks and he said it wasn't ducks. A buck jumped in the creek and almost ran over him when he got to the other side. He killed it with #4 steel. Point blank.
I remember cutting out the backstraps and the pellets falling out of the top of them in the neck and pinging when they hit the cement under the skinning shed.
