However, it presented several problems that make me unwilling to pursue the same strategy next season, namely littering the river with arrows and losing ducks to bad shots. I have considered using a bow fishing setup to reel ducks in to the boat so I don’t lose arrows or step off into private property. Are there better solutions?
