Great duck hunting story from the Examiner:A man or perhaps a tribe of warriors walked up to an isolated lake covered with ducks several hundred years ago. The lake was away from civilization where the flocks found sanctuary. The hunters may have prayed to thank their creator, or perhaps they shared a drink of some concoction. But either way, they celebrated while planning their hunt.

Chain quacking filled their minds with visions of a roasted duck dinner instead of the jerked meat carried in oiled leather wrappings. They watched the ducks lift up to stretch their wings, and then drop back down in the crowded waters. They reveled in their good fortune.
