Duck Hunting 2003

Water fowl seasons, for some reason, are my favorite.  In the reeds with a case of shells and some friends, firing away like it's WW2what could be more American?  The primary goal here is to fire when the birds are still out of range and to convince the flock to seek another place to land.  There are sabs that use a boat for this type of action.  I like the ability to change my location and fire from many different vantage points without being spotted.  4-6 people in groups of 2 will spread you out even more.

Most states require you be able to shoot no more than 3 shells at a time from a shot gun (preferred weapon of duck hunters).  There is a plug that is sold with new shot gun; otherwise you will need to purchase one.  It must be installed in the gun if you are in the field.  This is usually covered in a hunter education course.

Use only steel shot if you plan to engage in this type of sabbing.  There's no reason to pollute the water with any more lead.

 

Other possible options include:

bulletLaser pointers to cause the birds to fly away or higher.  Aim for the lead bird.
bulletMirrors may also work. 
bulletPredator-shaped kites have been used outside of hunting areas before.  According to some they may work.
