I shot this video a few weeks back while in the Coastal Bend area fishing. Austin and I were fishing the Upper Laguna Madre and paddled up and a enormous flock of ducks sitting on the water. I tried to see how close I could get to them before they all flew off. I got within 30 yards before they all flew off, which sounded like a helicopter flying overhead. Too bad I don’t hunt and I’m sure the birds appreciated it as well. A pretty awesome sight nonetheless.
