The art of working the birds seems to be fleeting.

But you are right, tough to manage on public land around people who are less humane about their shots.

nobody is forcing you to hunt public land. If you don't like it then don't hunt it...simple as that

I can work birds with the best of em. So can a lot of my constituents...but several factors have lead to the necessity of shooting longer shots. To say differently would make me question your sanity.

It is easy for our gramps to say that kind of stuff about shooting decoying ducks...it's because they had an abundance and their biggest decision was which ducks to shoot, not if they should leave without seeing any birds work.
Ducks are smarter. They see so many spreads these days. #s are down and flyways change. Seasons are more regulated, many times right when the #s make it down.

To say it is a problem with the Hunter that ducks don't decoy is dumb, especially season hunters.

I would venture to say a hunter today that kills 5 ducks is a much better hunter than our grandparents who killed 20 in the 70s.
