[QUOTE="SoonerATC, post: 1683648, member: 9576"] Interesting epilogue to this story. I returned this morning to the same pond as last evening, since it had ducks on it twice yesterday. When I got to the pond, I didn't see the wounded duck, but I did shoot a single and found a dead doe that something had dragged to the pond's edge overnight. As I was walking back to my truck, I was about 50 yards from the pond when something started moving in the grass about 10 feet ahead of me. After recovering from my near heart attack, I saw that it was the wounded duck from last night and it was moving as fast as it could through the grass away from me. I couldn't believe it. The only sporting thing to do was to finish it off and just chalk it up to today's bag limit. I went and hit a few other ponds, then returned to this pond again since it seemed to be holding them pretty consistently. I bagged another two ringnecks (that's what all the ducks in this story have been), then went to check on the deer carcass again. Something had clearly been back to it in the hour or so since I had left the first time. I'm thinking I might have interrupted whatever it was the first time I had been there and it came back after I left. I also saw a turkey, but there is no fall turkey season at the WMA I was at.
