I finally know why we're only allowed three shells for waterfowling.

You guys need to put a Tasco red dot on your shotguns. And a rail. And a flashlight. And a bayo lug. And a QD latch. And a iPhone mount.
I though every duck hunter knew that....

You can reduce your miss per flock cost by 1/3 by going to a an O/U lol

I'm shamelessly going to use this, "You see hun, this pricey double is actually going to save us money due to its inherent shell mileage. My old auto burned three shells to the second, and this burns only two!"

BT99 for me! Only one shot... better be good... those crossers are safe. Outgoing... dead every time!... C.

Remind me to bookmark your username so when you throw that BT99 up for sale in the EE I will remember who was firing heavy field loads through a gun designed for target loads!!!

Went duck hunting for the first time this season. It amazed me that I could miss that often with so many targets available. But I did miss every time. Completely hooked now.

Here here. Me too brother, I love it!! And to think I ususally try to avoid things I'm no good at. I could be missing out on all kinds of fun!

I alway thought it was to stop 10-22 syndrome.
You know spray and prey.

 

[ljones]

No.... in Lookanese it is "qwacking"... get with the program rookie...

...or should it be qvacking?... Me thinks Kamlooky is slipping... pretty soon he be talkin like rest of us

You guys are so last year. I have a trifactor if 300MW lasers mounted the front of the gun.

After you have burned through their corneas they are much easier to shoot due to the effect of having smoking eye sockets.

The smoke serves dual purpose as it is a nice trail which indicates line of travel.

Get with the program.

I finally figured out why we're only allowed three shells for waterfowling.

I usually miss with the first two, then fire the third one off in anger and frustration.

The government is trying to save me money.

If I had five shells in my shotgun I would miss with the first two as usual then fire the next three at the retreating ducks in anger and frustration.

Let em land far less frustrating and you can line up multiples

It's not missing! It's concistancy! lol

They aren't hard to hit , they are just easy to miss....there's a whole lotta sky around them.
Waterfowling can be highly addictive

There's a bag limit, and also a magazine limit. I'd like to know the real origin of the magazine limit, because it doesn't make sense to me.

If there is any advantage to having more in a magazine, there is still a limit for the day. Are they trying to limit how fast somebody limits out?

Really all the regulations are more on making our lives more difficult and dependant on the needs of society ie the stores and banks...

I started out with a single shot and I tried to make every shot count. I got to be a pretty good shot. Later on, I got a pump action and I became a lousy shot. Nowadays I try to treat the pump as if it were a single shot but I have a ways to go.

 

[JamesM]

I have never missed, I just occasionally, maybe frequently hit precisely where the ducks are not.

 

[Raton57]

I always figured I was a good shot. I can hit the blank space between the ducks everytime. Thought that was more difficult then hitting those big old ducks.
