Used to give them a warning yell or shot until it became legal to swat them. Not sure why the law was changed or exactly which year. I was hesitant at first but it didn't take me long to start swatting wood ducks that land a little too close.

I also encourage young shooters to take water shots as it really helps build confidence. They will have plenty of flying opportunities to miss. One of the first kids I took out was shooting a single 20. He managed 3 greenwings with his first shot. Must have shot a box of shells after that and only got one more bird.

It depends. You have to look up because sometime there's a tornado forming because all the ducks in the sky saw some safely land. If it's mallards, it pays to take a deep breath, scan the sky, then decide if you want to swat or jump the ones on the water. Wood ducks...I'm slamming on them little bitches.

I hunt in Wisconsin, not Arkansas. That scenario doesn't happen.

This. I try and get em right as they open their wings up to take off. Unless they are inside 25yds, then I put the bead a little high and turkey shoot em.
