That's a great story! You might wanna pack a 'catcher's' mit in your duffle bag. :grin:

That is a chuckler.

I have never tried to catch one, but I have had to 'duck' out of the way before.

Good story!

That's funny TT.
4 years ago I was in N.D. hunting pheasants with my grown son. We're about 50 yards apart and a rooster gets up in front of him and rockets upward, pow, he nails it, and it is headed downward right at me. I jump backward 3 steps, and 'plop' it hits the ground.. Dead bird?? Uh uh, that sucker gets up and starts running and I couldn't shoot because he was so darned close and then my dog couldn't find him!!

About 12 years ago when I was 14 my dad and I were hunting Malarkey on sauvi's east side on a great windy & rany day. We had set up on Malarky lake & were having trouble getting the birds to swing off of the big lake over the trees. I decided to grab a few of the xtra dekes out of the boat and through them out in the big lake. We were set up along the narrow strip of land between the 2 lakes. The boat was pulled up along the cut bank on the large lake side. I grabbed a few dekes & turned to walk towards the water when 4 mallards came screaming out of the wind at about 30 yds off the deck right at me. I droped the dekes & nailed the lead green head. This is when everything slows down. The bird folded & was falling right to me. I decided I could catch it. I laid my gun accross my forearms & got ready. The next thing i heard was an increasingl loud woohsing sound. WOOOOOOOOOSSHHSmack. Square in the chest. That bird Knocked me over & my gun brused my forearms. I stood back up to see my dad, who had been watching the whole thing, doubeled over with laughter....He didnt stop for at least an hour & after that every time he looked at me he cracked up.

It never fails - whenever there is a slow moment in the blind he gives me the "Remember the time...." amyway - the moral of the story is - Dont try to catch your game (particularly when it is a fast duck coming out of a stiff wind) especially if there is somone watching.
