Chris and ksfowler, why is it more ethical to shoot them in the air?
I say it is more "ethical" to shoot ducks in flight than in your spread. Notice the quotes around the word: "ethical." I say this because all of the hunters on their high horses in the other forums say it unethical to shoot sitting ducks.
I couldn't disagree more. And it is legal to shoot ducks on the water where I'm at, so by God im doin it. If you have what it takes to work that duck into your spread, cut it. And if you don't, cut 'em when they're passing.
As for the correlation between the two meanings "ethically" and "legally," thats a whole 'nother topic. Go talk to some of the "experienced" hunters in the bowhunting/deerhunting forums about hunting deer over cornpiles
