BY DICK WOOD

The opening of the duck shooting
season is a major event in the lives of
over million sportsmen. Ducks are
widely distributed and popular game
with all shotgun users.
Migrating ducks often light and tarry
for days on ponds, sloughs and creeks.
providing sport and duck dinners alike
for the tanner lad with his single barrel
Long Tom" and the crank sportsman
with his automatic.
Jump shooting on rivers requires con-
siderable skill and provides more real
sport than deer hunting. The usual pro-
cedure is to engage local riverman to
paddle his skiff on float down river.
Thrills Around Bend
The start should be made on a con-
siderable tide (freshet) which keeps the
ducks near the banks, and the colder the
morning, the better. The hunter invari-
ably follows the convex bank. and the
skilled boatman keeps the craft hugging
dropping foliage, and paddles quietly,
from the stern. One or two shooters
sit in the bow and bang away at ducks
along the banks, within range.
This sort of hunting is far more en-
joyable and sportsmanlike than sitting
in cold blind, firing into the occasional
flock that drifts into bunch of decoys.
The river duck hunter anticipates
thrilling action around every bend.
When the ducks come out or rise per-

pendicularly, skill is required to hit them
from moving boat. Sometimes small
bunch of ducks will be sighted far down
the bank and long stalk by boat be-
gins. If straggler or brace of mallards
arc kicked up on the way down. the
hunter has to make hasty decision on
taking the bird in hand or trying for
the two in the BUSH 1t usually pays to
pass up no fair shots. Sometimes ducks
are not frightened by shooting beyond
half mile.
Conservation Problem
1t is illegal to use an automatic shot
gun of more than three shots. Since
wild ducks were diminishing rapidly,
something had to be done by the conser
vationists. | contend it is not the gun,
but the man back of it, who hogs the
game. My idea would be to restrict
hunters in areas where ducks are abund-
ant, such as on the marshes of Mary
land to single shot arms; the river duck
hunter will seldom kill the legal limit
with the five shot automatic, and the
extra shots do save lot of cripples.
The IL gauge is almost universally
accepted as the best duck bore, but the
20 makes clean kills at slightly shorter
ranges and is more sportsmanlike gun
where ducks are abundant. If using
single barrel, | prefer 3o-inch full
choke. If double barrel, 28-inch, right
modified, left full choke None but the
best grade duck loads should be used.
