Fly Durability With A Shotgun!
I found this nugget over on www.midcurrent.com the other day and decided it had to be the "funny or stupid" question of the week.
By the way if you haven't checked out Midcurrent, you must. It is THE fly fishing resource for the web. Everything from videos like this, to relevant fishing news or articles that will change how you fish. You won't be disappointed. Trust me...
At first I thought this video was pretty funny. Then I watched it again, and again...and again. Now I'm thinking this doofus just wasted a perfectly good shotgun shell.

Could have had a wad of mud, rocks, or lead come right back at him. Something I might have done in younger dimwitted days.

We need a poll for the funny or stupid weekly post. Votes can be for funny, stupid, or both.
This was funny. Woulda been both if it was reckless.

Evan,
Yeah, I guess you're right. It could be both. Duly noted. From now on you'll have the choice of both. Ask and you shall receive.

Being a waterfowler I thought it was funny. Did not notice if he had eye protection on. Have shot my decoys more than once...they still float:)
