When you shoot a bird, and are greeted with a big poof of feathers and the bird flys off into the distance keeping pace with his flock buddies.

Had two ducks today leave me a nice fluff ball and one duck yesterday, are these ducks wounded? or do they shake it off and keep on quacking?

I have been shooting BBs, picked up some 2s today to try and up the lead in the air.

Sounds like an @$$ shot, put a little more lead on em and see how it goes. I prefer a fast shot for this reason, over the decoys it doesn't matter but for passing through its a bit easier with less lead

BBs are overkill I shoot 3s for ducks and yep try for a little more lead

I got a double header on Teal today. One shot two birds splashed down hard. Within a few minutes we had another large flock come in and started shooting again. Went out into the back pond to find the two teal and only one was there... really surprised at that!
