For years I was somewhat poor. I took what I could get (legaly). If it was a rabbit that suddinly stopped in the open, I shot it just the same as if it were running as fast as it could. So why would I treat a waterfowl any different? I shot them in the air as much as I could, but if one "slipped in" I didn't quarrel about shooting it on the water. If it's for food, and legal, do what you got to do. Hunting is a sport for some, and shooting a duck on the water may take the sport out of it for some, but if that's the difference between eating and not eating it's a little more than a sport, it's a way of life. After eating possum jerky for a few days and drinking boiled lake water a duck taken off the water and a hot cup of pine needle tea goes down good.
