Pulling the boat home for Pointe a la Hache for some work , had killed a male and female small version of red headed hooded Morganza and they never had a mark on them , really fine looking duck and I wanted them mounted so I put them in a Sweggman's bag and had them in an ice chest , seen a friend on Paris Rd and pulled over to show him the boxes of specks we had and the ducks , opened the bag and the male jumps out and takes off down the shoulder of Paris road towards oncoming traffic with one wing not working , I was in chase and he crossed the line of the shoulder and got onto the street a couple of times and almost caused a major pile up , this was the duck that would die , rung his neck , beat his head and thought I was going to have to get the gun out again , needless to say he was a mess when it was all over and never got him mounted ------------------ was fishing a spot we called 4 Bayous out of la Hache , name speaks for itself 4 bayous intersect at one spot , winter time so fishing mud minnows under a cork , get a bite and reeling in it felt funny , out the water and into the air comes a black loon , what we always called a negro geese , so he is flying in the air and I got him hooked in the mouth on a pole , he swallowed the hook and was pretty mad and mean so I had to cut the line , I never seen him before the bite apprently he went under out of view around the bayou point and swam into my fishing spot ------------------ once in Oak River close to the dam , the guy in the boat next to me hooked an otter in the back and reeled it into the boat , that was pretty funny watching them deal with the otter trying to unhook him
