Also a slower flyer than ducks so easy on the wing when in season. With a good back stop Id used a 22mag which would remove the whole chest which was a lot better than a 22lr as the feathers seemed to absorb a lot of the shot and would result in runners. Not a good thing. They do make good eel bait.

Sound advice! Unfortunately the land im working on is mostly flat and has neighboring properties with long grass that they know they are safe in.
