    Make it a long story that take multiple side tracks that require a lot of different posts to get to the end point.

    So this one time at band camp….. lol you know how that story goes right? But no this one time I was duck hunting my local lake an we are allowed to use the shore line of the county park to set up blinds and what not. So I am in my make shift behind some trees. And I see this girl walking over to my decoys. She calls her bf over and they start taking selfie’s with my decoys in the water lol so I start using my call and she’s getting all excited until I shot at one and missed and I think she pooped herself a little

    Can you clarify what you shot at? A duck, decoy, or her?

    Are you saying you shot over her? Ducks were coming in with her in your spread? I believe this is how conflicts start and hunters get bad names.

    So they were behind so I was shooting in a safe safe direction. She was 15-20 yds behind me and 10 behind my spread so no where’s near the shot or direction

    I would never take a shot towards a human just to scare them. I have way to much training and discipline to do something like that. If a duck wasn’t in my range I wouldn’t have shot at all I would have kept laughing at them

    Well, since the story started with “This one time at band camp” .......

    That opening line made me laugh.
