went duck hunting Sunday but |
did not 60. i went to my grand
mother's in Sails. My daddy said
when they first got to the lake
they saw some ducks and they
shot at them a lots of times but
they were too far out in the lake
and the wind was blowing too
hard TO use the boat so the ducks
just kept sitting on the lake and
did NOT move a bit. Then Daddy
told me he went to the other side
of the lake near the island and
when he was coming down the
path he saw something black and
white run by and he first thought
il was a skunk but then it ran
into the water so he thought it
was a mink but then it turned out
DO be a duck and he killed It.
When they got home I helped PICK

a duck because 1t was my fHS
