One day I was sneaking up to a pond dam with some old Marine Corps buddies of mine. I was shooting a Charles Daly Diamond Grade O/U. I was in the left. I hung back. The other guys jumped up and startled the geese and ducks. I peeked over the berm and dropped back down. The birds came up and seeing the other guys turned and flew over me. The ducks came first. I dropped one and then another almost right overhead. I broke the gun open and jammed in two more shells. Then came the geese. I dropped one and had to step aside as he was falling right at me. He landed at my feet. Then I turned and shot another as he was going away. I had to chase him down.
A double double.
If I had died at that moment I would have lived a happy life.
