Also wounded ducks, if I actually manage to hit one and its wounded what is the best way to finish it?

Wounded ducks ring its neck,if ya can catch it otherwise another shot on the water is legal.
I go out all opening weekend from dawn to dark as more ducks are moving if there are plenty of shooters in the area.After that I mainly night shoot or jump ponds during work ours.Also sling the gun and try the river with rod and gun,fish till just before dark then lay the rod down and get into it.
