For the record, I live in Southern Arizona. We are not exactly a "flyway" for ducks. Have we decoyed and killed limits this year? yeah?
Usually we start the morning that way, and then puddle jump until I have to go to work, or we have our limit. Which ever comes first.

Do we routinely water swat? No. Sometimes the ducks are so surprised to see us after out stock, they dont get up right away so we help them along. This usually results in one bird water swatted, the rest shot in the air.

Whoever out there thinks we are what ever explicative laden phrase you wish to use, cool. We dont care. We will continue to kill our bag limits and eat duck for dinner.
