Seems like every year I go duck hunting there's one memorable moment that defines the season, that you love to remember and love to retell, and one moment that you wished didn't happen, and you don't want to tell anyone, ever.
This year's funniest moment came early enough...twice.
We were out around Irricana shooting a little pond, and we met a nice older gent out there with his two dogs. A black lab and chocolate lab retreiver. Now it seemed like every time he fired his gun, the dogs would race off, whether he had brought something down or not.
It even got so out of control for him that when we were shooting, his dogs would race up to us and out into the water. Which, truth being told, I didn't mind so much as the dogs brought our ducks back as much as they brought his back. Apparently one was deaf, so I thought this was amazing to say the least.
The owner was none too pleased though. And insisted on using the dogs full names every time he was displeased with their running off. Now, my kids know when I'm ticked that I use their full names, and that if pull the 'middle-name' card they'd better listen up.
But I didn't know that worked on dogs too. I will never forget this guy screaming...
God DAMMIT Bear!
Jesus CHRIST Jake!
...odd middle names I know. Must be very religious
