Personally, I am a snob and don't do it. But, I don't have any problem with others doing so. I look at it like this....if you have convinced those birds, be it through calling, concealment, and decoy placement...to acctually LAND and sit there in range....then you have fooled/mastered that bird...moreso than shooting them as they pass or jump shooting them. This is, of course, as it pertains to ducks.

Now, shooting doves off the wire, or murdering a covey of quail on the ground....we'll have words about that.....but ducks...or anything you have to call in (turkey's)....no problem with a ground swat.
