Legal or not??

[Musky Buck]

I lost my heart on shooting ducks, in my area so few around anymore I just can't pop the few I have come by, geese are my favorite anyway, and they are thick.

Its legal to shoot them in the water in Wisconsin, at least thats what i would say.

[Joe15]

In lots of areas its legal most people just consider it unethical

[fishkid]

if i shoot bad i wack one on the water to boost my confidence it works ever time.

[jigginjim]

legal or not, many guys do it. May need bigger shot, have seen some get up and fly away after swat shooting.

I think I lose confidence the few times I have had to shoot at birds on the water (cripples) I manage to miss them most of the time it seems...

[jbell1981]

use smaller shot, it will help if they are not to far out. I keep 6 shot in my blind bag for this purpose.

Ive heard "water spanking" is how they do it in Arkansas ? On a side note some guys "ground pound" snows in the spring as well. So to each their own I guess. I personally prefer the birds flying as it is a sport n more of a challenge,but if I crippple 1 im not opposed to "kissing it off" as I don't have a dog to retrieve the bird.

plus when you shoot them in the water you dont get any pellets in the breastmeat and you can see your pattern in the water around the bird. or you can just be like the dudes on Fallin' Skies videos and shoot the birds again on the way down. little sarcasm here.

i once attended a seminar by a man you might have heard of but he said that if a duck lands on the water close enough for you to shoot you did something right so why not take that bird afterall it decoyed so why let it go the man was the duck commander phil robertson
