Duck Hunting

Called in a favor and got my friend. Indian Boy, to take me hunting.
I've never shot a shotgun... or killed nothin' but fish. So here we are tromping through the swap and trees in muck boots to our knees.
"Here's the gun" he says, handing it to me. "Now there's gonna be a duck on the water just over that ridge. Go kill it." He instructed.
"Um... Im going to need more specific instructions." I said.
"Button. Aim. Shoot. Now go!" He said.
So I sneek my way up and over the ridge... no duck.
No such luck with the next ridge, and as I see the bird it sees me and goes to take off. "Quick SHOOT!" He whisper shouts... so I did.
But I forgot to aim. Actually I Just kinda pointed the gun in the right direction and pulled the trigger.
Totally hip shot it. haha And suddenly I couldn't hear... or stand up straight. The world was spinning.
The dog and him took of through the trees to get the duck he had apparently shot when I missed.
But I set the gun down. Then I sat down... and I stayed there for a good 5 minutes before he came back for me.
I don't think I'm ever gonna live that one down. lol He tells everyone I "John Wayne'd it"
But they got several ducks and a couple raccoon's they saw in the trees. And it was one of the most memorable adventures I've ever had.
