On This Day | Decoy Hunter Makes Miraculous Shot
Author
Josh Wolsky
A hunter wearing hip boots came up on the other side of the slough. He saw the decoys, thought they were ducks, got down onto his belly and crawled clear around the slough and up to the decoys and blazed away without standing up. Hiram and Cliff had been watching the man’s approach. Cliff saw he was in the line of fire and moved over. As the shot rang out, Cliff yelled, “You got all five of them!”

Why We Chose It
A fun, and innocent warning in the middle of hunting season… be sure you know what you’re shooting at! Lest ridicule or something much worse finds you…
