Re: Stupid questions
Never thought about catching them by hand. Would have to ask a CO.
As for shooting a duck/goose that has landed that is most often referred to as water swatting or ground pounding. It is legal, but severely frowned upon. Most hunters will try to get the bird to take off either by throwing something or yelling. I will let you decide if drawing a bead on a duck and and shooting it when it is 3 feet off the ground is any better..
I don't shoot innocent animals... Just the ones that look guilty!
