You are right, and my appologies. What works for each person may be the same or different. I feel the same way about cripples. And you are probably right about my shooting behind that duck, I have done that a time or 2.
Please forgive my referencing you and PETA as being colleagues, I was unfair in my comment.
If it is any consolation, I had to wade apprximately 1/2 mile (round trip) to retrive the forementioned duck through flooded fields. I did get it. It was across a canal that was deeper than I had anticipated. I had to walk to the other end of the field, come back, pick up the duck and reverse the process.
