The Great Duck Hunt
Jan 21, 2014 11:18:37 #
SE Kansas seems to be a mecca of duck hunters gone wild so I had the thought to get in the game also. Seeing that I don't currently own a shotgun I decided to hunt with my Canon. After getting all painted and camoed, wifes ruby red lipstick (on my cheek) and a bright blue Jimmy pickup (to better blend in with other traffic) I was ready for these elusive feathered beast.
Drove around for about 20 minutes and then I spotted this herd of ducks trying to hide on some farmers pond. Not wanting to trespass, I pulled over, rolled down the window and shot from the truck. The click of the shutter must be louder than I'd anticipated, a second later they were all airborne. I'm proud to say there was 100% survival rate in both the hunter and the ducks!

Great shot. The ruby red lipstick is probably what scared them off. Try a more subtle shade of pink next time and play some Sinatra music.

Very nice (Herd) of ducks did you happen to see a flock of cattle on the farmers place?
