Default Cripples

Here is the situation. You shoot a duck and your dog goes to retreive it. When he gets back the duck is still alive. What is the best way to finish off this duck quickly and effectivly?



Thanks

A quick bite to the head just to the rear of the eye is fast and effective.

Grab it by the neck and just start windmilling it untill you feel the neck snap.

Save the sport. Take a kid hunting twice and hook them for life!!!

***Check your local laws for legality, nor do I condone this but I've heard...***

Tie decoy line to its foot and an anchor and put it in your spread as a caller!

j/k

Ring the neck.

No question, wring the neck and keep going until you feel it snap otherwise the duck is in more pain.

drgildy, i thought you were kidding about the quick bite to the head, i even laughed out loud, but then i was watching the Outdoor Channel and saw a duck hunter do that exact thing. i couldn't believe it!
I hunt and have taken my share of game but to finish one off with my mouth, now that takes some Brass Cojones.
