[QUOTE="rifle02, post: 5532028, member: 20050"] Sorry but I just have to tell this humorous story. For several years I have tried duck hunting on the cheap without having a boat. I live on a lake and there are spots where the water is only Waist Deep 30 or 40 yards from shore. I set out decoys and sit on the shore in a chair surrounded by camo netting. One time two years ago I noticed a small flock of waterfowl swimming parallel to the shore and I knew they would encounter my decoys. They were not Ducks they were actually grebes and I was entertained to see them swimming among my decoys looking puzzled. One seemed to be lagging behind. As it got closer I realized it was not a grebe, it was a duck. I'm not sure what kind of duck it was, small with a brown head looking lonesome. It came up into my decoys. My plan was to jump up from behind my camo netting and shoot the duck when it flew. Well I did that but the duck refused to fly, it just kept swimming among my decoys. I couldn't bring myself to blast it. I just watched as it swam away. I don't feel bad about that at all. [/QUOTE]
