Home Forums Birds & Dogs Waterfowl Ethical question: why not shoot ducks on the water?

I hunt over decoys. In my experience, ducks fold up when they are hit cupped and committed.

If we have ducks in the decoys we generally let them sit to attract more ducks.

But if someone shoots, it's ok with me. As long as they are shooting at ducks. But if they shoot a merganser...we ride them hard...just because.
