T- MINUS 6 MINUTES....

[Mark Kircher]

Last Saturday I had a big time hunting with a good friend!

Pictured is Craig Larter with Drake Mallard stud he pulled out of a group of 4 (3 hens with him) with only 6 minutes to go in his duck hunting season!

Counting it down....
- With 30 minutes left he began talking to himself ("just 1 more bird....just 1 more")
- 15 to go I believe I saw him trembling like my dog does when the birds are close.
-10 minutes and the prayers started to pay off....Over came a group high in the sky and the master caller worked his magic. He just kept calling and they came.
-6 minutes to go - One shot from the DHE 12 bore and it was lights out for the drake. Breast up and motionless. -A layup for the dog... and a celebration for us.

I can't wait until duck hunting starts again!!!
