Thread: Who's excited?

I love my duck hunting, which is so much more than just shooting ducks. My son and the grand daughters have an awesome time in the mai mai, with big cooked breakfasts, I video heaps of action, we dress out all our birds, use a dog etc.
Pre-season is spent repainting decoys, cleaning up the mai mai and surrounds. Great fun!

I can totally understand Ryan's disgust at the actions of some low lifes who just kill ducks to brag, and then chuck the birds out. Shoot bloody clay birds if you want to just shoot shit. As for drinking and shooting - I do not see that up this way, but I guess some people still drink and drive, and possibly the same ones will drink and shoot. Of the duck hunters I know, all seem to be passionate about their hunting, and many put so much more back in the form of wetland development/enhancement.

I am saddened to see that Ryan has been exposed to the crap behaviour of some shooters, and while I find his language confrontational, his reasons are understandable. Most of us duck hunters are passionate about our sport, and follow the written ( and unwritten) rules absolutely.
