Maybe way ****ing different people than they were in 2009. Maybe not though. Just sayin.
I've shot ducks, geese, snipe, pheasant, pigeons, and grouse both while they were sitting, standing, and flying. I couldn't care less what others think. I do prefer to shoot ducks, chukars, quail, snipe, pigeons, and geese, on the wing. As for grouse, although it is a big challenge and a lot of fun shooting them when they blast off and fly, it's not much fun biting down on the small pellets so I prefer to head shoot them with a 22. or arrow. I will draw the line at shooting morning doves sleeping in trees. When we were youths, we were discouraged from shooting grouse at dusk if they went to roost for the night, and pheasants if there was accumulated snow on the ground. If it's legal, to each their own conscience.
Funny thread this - reminds of one on refuge forums a little while ago - reams and reams of yanks who simply can't shoot a bird on the wing - they wait till they sit then hose them....
I'm such a poor shot with a shotgun I always waited for the ducks and geese to land b4 shooting otherwise I would have starved to death.......
"I don't shot them when they are swimming I wait till they stop."
LOL
If I wasn't going to wing shoot birds, I wouldn't shoot birds. But to each their own I suppose.
WHo on earth would shoot a sitting duck!
