I have to say that is the best final outcome that could have been hoped for. And they tell me hypothermia kills loads of duck hunters in the USA, where people tend to be a little more careless about the cold than we are here. A lot of times you're read that the hunter's waders got flooded and "pulled them down" but if you've ever tried it, you will know that doesn't really happen- water in water is neutrally buoyant. It's the fact that the water is near freezing that does the trick.

Very disturbing.
No duck is worth murdering people (I mean, that should be obvious). Theres a lot more to this story and I'll be stunned if the answer is "ducks"

I dislike overuse of cliche but it's probably related to poor mental health and poor interactions from others.
Like playing with dynamite.
I guess that might be, but that would require him remembering doing it and then if he had dementia I know from personal experience something like a trial wouldn't get very far before he was just confined somewhere.
Sky blasting = shooting when the birds are way out of your range, but possibly coming into range for others - now you have scare them off and no one gets any
Swing shooting = shooting at a passing bird so for example you are swinging your shotgun from right to left as the bird passes in front of you.
Generally ok (but can be dangerous if you are not fully aware of what is to your right and left -as in other persons in their boats/ blinds etc)

At some level, pretty much all murder can be brought down to mental health.
No one who murders in cold blood is of sane mental health.
This is not what "Swing Shooting" is.
Swing shooting is when you shoot at birds that are being worked by another blind and are "swinging" around for another pass of their set. It is proper etiquette to allow birds that are responding to another set to continue to pass. Birds that have been worked hard down the flyaway or due to high pressure often "swing" by a set several times before committing to cup their wings and drop into the decoys. Anyone who has hunted any length of time can tell which set the birds are working to, and it is considered "neighborly" to allow that blind to continue to work those birds in and to NOT "Swing Shoot" them.
for sure. 100% agree
Often true no doubt, but it's not always that simple. There are some awfully sane evil people out there, and then look at Germany and Rwanda.

I'm going to correct you on swing ducks. Shooting swing ducks is shooting at ducks you are working into your spread and as they swing out wide to circle your spread they pass over other hunters and they shoot at the ducks that have been working to your spread. That is what those hunters refer to as swing ducks, it's not swinging on a duck, lol.
It common in areas where hunters are crammed into limited space and are competing for birds. It is considered bad form in those areas and many a heated argument takes place when it happens. I'm glad I don't have to deal with that kind of competition for the resource.

Too many hunters, not enough resource for all, this is what happens.
Grizz
That's a pretty simplistic analysis.
Hoyt beat you to it by two days.
Or whose got concentration camps running right now, I’m sorry but if non violence is sanity then the whole world is crazy and has been forever. People that kill like that aren’t crazy, they just don’t care. That has to be taught out of people.
