Man Hunting with Colt McCoy Catches Quail in Midflight

You know what they say, "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush." I wonder if it's worth a little more if you catch the bird in midair?

During a hunt with San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colt McCoy, Austin Community Church Pastor Matt Carter made a "sweet catch" on a quail that just happened to fly within his reach. With a grin on his face and accolades from his hunting buddies, Carter raised the quail above his head in a victory pose.

Friends Carter and McCoy have hunted together for years, and have recently teamed up to co-author a book titled "The Real Win: A Man's Quest for Authentic Success."

Some are doubting the video's authenticity. Others claim they were most likely hunting slow-flying, pen-raised quail, which makes the feat less impressive. Like McCoy, I think the catch was pretty "cool." What do you think?
