I grew up in a family of meat hunters... less shells it takes the better. Guess I'm not cultured enough to have grown up hunting with folks who added their own versions of game laws they can judge other hunters against.

As for ducks, most folks who talk about not shooting ducks off the water don't have the public land hunting skills to get them into the decoys to even have opportunities to do that... and are the same ones skybusting at birds 80-110yds they have no chance of hitting except for that one stray golden bb that connects about every 5 yrs and keeps em slinging steel and educating everything on the water. That's another thing I could see as situational, if a fella has some prime timber hole where slow flying puddle ducks come in on a string then wait for higher percent kills shot when they are close and in the air.

... stepping off my soapbox now
