I might get ripped for this,,, but when duck hunting and decoying if its a realy good day and the ducks are comming in like mad. I like to let half the flock land, with the other half still in the air wings cupped. I then cut loose with my first shot and I try to only head shoot a close (10 yards or under) standing/swimming duck so the BB's just hit the head and neck. I love to eat a good malard but I hate plucking feathers when their full of hoes throughout the breast and body. I of course shoot my other two shots at flying ducks. If your fast and accurate you'll catch them in the air, with that back pedal motion for a few seconds. And kill two more ducks before they get out of range. As long as a duck is not hit too bad I still pluck it, but if its full of holes I just breast it out and make jerkey out of it. I don't worry about if its considered ethical or not when I am eating a duck that doesn't have a hole in its body. Yum now I am hungry for some good malard duck!
