Haven't read through all the terms...but did anyone list...

Ground Check - Shoot it 1st, identify it once it's down and on the ground (of course, I wouldn't recommend that)

Half the time yes...it's really guys who shoot at ducks when they're high and passing over, or when they haven't actually cupped their wings to come in.

Shooting at the ducks a mile high basically. Kinda like most the guys who duck hunt on TV.

Often times some of my hunting buddies and I will use these terms:

Skinhead - Doe
Pot Hunting - Hunting by sitting in a treestand
Pushing or Driving - Deer drive
On-Stand or On-Post - Going to hunt "standing", on the other end of the deer drive.
