that passes even though there
isn't a good chance of bagging
the bird.
?. Inability to judge distances.
Shooters with this handicap at
tempt to knock down every duck
that flies over. In many cases,
birds are hit, but seldom fall.
This type of shooting frightens
away all ducks that might norm
ally use an area and spoils the
hunting for all gunners.
8. Poor craftsmanship the
kind of cunning demonstrated by
the fellow who doesn't bother to
practice during the off season
This gunner tries to regain his
shooting eye by firing at every
bird that comes into sight.
4. The inability of some shoot
ers to recognize the limitations
of their guns and ammunition
Although modern shotgun shells
have excellent performance, toe
many shooters try to kill ducks
past the point at which they car
properly swing with the bird and
shoot.

5. Many downed birds are lost
because hunters do not use a
suitable retrieving-type dog, or
because the birds are dropped in
places where there is no oppor-
tunity to recover them.
The heaviest crippling losses
occur early in the season in
marshes when the vegetation is
most dense. The use of waterfowl
decoys tends to reduce Gripping
losses if the hunter positions him.
self SO that all of the decoys are
within gun range and then shoots
only at those birds that come in
or over the spread Some losses
occur in open waters when the
birds are not hit solidly'
The Commission suggests that
observance of the following code
would assist waterfowl shooters
in voluntarily undertaking a unit
ed campaign to reduce the num-
Der Of ducks and geese that are
hit but not retrieved each year;
1. Learn to use your gun and
ammunition; know their capabil-
tiles and their limitations.
2. Shoot only at birds that are
within reasonably close range.
8. Use a retrieving dog when
at all possible.
4. Be a sportsman in the true
sense of the word.
