Yea, I was. I try not to even shoot wood ducks. I don’t know why, but I just don’t like shooting ducks that don’t work or decoy. I have let a many of mallards go because they didn’t stick their toes down. Working them is almost as fun as shooting them. I don’t know of anything better then spinning 10 mallards in the sun then those 10 turn into 100+

Don’t get me wrong, I have had to do it before, but it is usually because I get tired of watching them circle and circle and circle. If I see a courtship flight happening I always tell the people to shoot them “if” they get close enough, but I don’t think I have ever actually seen a single duck shot during one.
Most of the time it is, “Man, we could have shot them”. I usually just say “probably”, and chalk it up in the “could have shot more”category. Might come out a bird or two shy sometimes, but that scenario it doesn’t take away from the hunt to me. Hell, I had rather shoot mallards sitting in the decoys then pass shoot them. But I shoot a lot of high birds because I am usually guiding and waiting for other people to start shooting before I start, and I leave the low birds for them and take the birds that are tree top high or trying to get out of the hole.
