I have had 2 very lucky long shot kills this year. While dove hunting I was using my 12 ga M21 that had just been repaired. I was really testing the gun to make sure it was OK for the duck season. There were no doves flying. Finally one flew by way out there and I shot at it. It folded dead at a measured 70 paces. Then last Sunday I was duck hunting with the same M21 and there were no ducks flying. I was very frustrated. Then a drake mallard landed in the pond quite some distance from the blind and my decoys. I was hoping he would swim closer upon seeing my decoys. No dice. Then a shot from another blind put the mallard up in the air. Out of frustration I shot and killed it dead at a measured 133 paces!
