This is when someone would rather win an argument in their own minds than be right.
Absolutes are almost non existent in the real world.

There are some things we can say in absolute terms, like .243 is the best hunting rifle and bird shot is fine for hone defense.

Huge PITA and if you tried to bino a buck on my deer stand you would then have zero chance to shoot him.
I get it in ag fields maybe.

Target practice, duck hunt down the road maybe
Budget 1500 plus or minus unless it doesn’t get me quality
If you would be so kind as to post some warning signs in the area where you plan to duck hunt with a lever action rifle it would be a great public service....
May actually be genius....I bet folks would think twice about setting up 100 yards away....probably not

I prefer to duck hunt with my crossbow but you do you
Doing so with a long bow is a thing in Washington State...I think compound bows also but everyone I knew who did it did it with a long bow. There is one area between Portland and Seattle where discharging a firearm is frowned upon if not illegal....and the area is CRAWLING with ducks and geese. Rednecks gonna redneck LOL...
Its also common and legal on municipal golf courses. Someone told me that you have to have a permit to do this but I am not certain of this...a depredation situation. I do know a buddy of mine up there has a teenaged son and their freezer is full of grass fed Canada geese with no steel shot breaking of teeth concerns....

I've killed a good many with a marlin .30-30
I have a .30-.30 lever action Marlin my Dad bought me at a Western Auto store for Christmas when I was 12 or so. I have killed a truck load of deer with that rifle...It used to be said that a Winchester .30-.30 lever action had killed more game than all rifles combined in North America. I doubt this was ever true but it was a common refrain in the 70's. At any rate a .30-.30 is a good entry level rifle and is sufficient in and of itself to kill just about any big game in North America in the right hands

So who on this board hasn't whacked ducks and pheasants with a 22? Hell, I took a lot of rabbits and a few pheasants with a bb gun and took a few pheasants on the fly with my Model 24 Remington 22 short semi auto. We didn't have any deer around back then, but anything else was fair game to that 22.
I have no doubt it is very common but I have never done it personally...I ain't good enough with a rifle to hit ducks on the wing with a .22 and I was taught at the end of a belt to NEVER shoot my .22 at anything floating on the water because there was no telling where the projectile would wind up....an Uncle two years older than me and I were just busted by my grandfather shooting bottles on a beaver pond...wore our asses OUT. A year of so after this there was an anecdote floating around north Georgia about a woman being killed driving down I-85 south of Atlanta by a round ricocheting off a lake...I doubt this ever actually happened but it hit home with a 11 year old who was just learning how deadly a .410 single shot could be if used improperly or intentionally....

When I was a kid, a guy that worked for my Dad, was supervising me to do some work around our pond. When we came over the little rise by the dam, a greenhead took off, he drew his .38 special and shot it in the air. The duck landed in the water, right at the bank. Of course he acted like he planned it exactly that way
I was on a pay dove shoot in Adairsville Georgia when I was a kid and a dude there was shooting dove...or shooting at dove....with a .38 and rat shot. I don't think he ever hit one though...I don't know if he ever did if the dove would have noticed it....but he swore he killed loads of doves with it. I don't think anyone ever bought it....

I used to shoot sparrows on the fly with .22 rat shot. We had broiler houses and the sparrows would get in them. They were smart. Before you could get close enough to even see them up in the rafters, they would fly by on the other side all the way back to the other end. Walk back a hundred yards to the other end and rinse wash and repeat. So, we started going after them with a single shot .22 and rat shot, shooting them as they flew by. It didn’t pattern worth a crap but we still managed to kill quite a few that way.
