Ducks are notorious for drowning themselves . You can be the best shot in the world but unless you have a little bit of luck or a very fast dog , you may never see a good number of the ducks you shoot again . They dive down and try to get tangled in weeds so you won ' t get them . Edit my brother is 18 , has shot over 10 ducks in his lifetime , and has never gotten one back <| sep |> The wife and I live about 2 , 500 miles away from our friends and family , and she ' s due to deliver our first child a week from today . She just found us an amazing deal on a new place , so we had to jump on it , but that means it ' s just me and a handtruck moving all our stuff , starting this past Wednesday and going through the weekend . Just woke up on the third day of the move and I can feel the first cold I ' ve had in the past three years in my throat . I ' m so wiped out , but here we go . Bout to get to the store , get some caffeine , and move shit for eight hours . Gotta channel my inner Stafford . Be tough , be clutch , get shit done .
