A friend and i went hunting down in Point Au Fer in the 80's, (MARSH) and we worked our way out to the blind to find out they burned the marsh a few days before. Well we flared everything and all of these ducks kept landing in another hole about 200 yards away. Being this is my buddies first time hunting, he ask me if he can try to sneak up on a flock of teal that landed in the pond. Well for shlitz and giggles i told him go for it! There was only 1 myrtle bush that hasn't burned to the ground, so he lined himself up with it and proceeded with the crouch walk with the occasional falling down! After about 30 minutes of watching him, i see him next to the myrtle and proceedes to squeeze the trigger. With two shots, he killed 5 on the water and the flock began to haul azz and his next shot downed 3 in the air. He didn't quite understand what did nor how incredible that was. The best part of the whole thing was watching him crawl out in the pond with a paddle to retrieve them all. I wouldn't let him leave till he got them all! It was a priceless moment!
