Shooting hours ethics.

[pianoman9701]

Ill wait until shooting time if there are some in the decoys, then I am sluicing them!

Nice tie-in with the other thread!

Any real duck hunter knows the birds don't fly until 1 hour after shooting time so whats the point of being set up so early?

Just buzz right in during the first 20 min of daylight set up and never have to face this issue.

 

No idea what your point is here. Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?

Pianoman you nailed. There really was no point simply just making a crack. Given the thread is really a legality question under the disguise of an ethics question I thought it was appropriate. 

These threads resurface every year and have been beaten down time and time again with the only outcome being that waterfowlers are divided and will remain that way.

We're good! I honestly had no idea of what you were getting at - open question. I'm dumb a lot!

I also set the alarm on my phone.  And, if you are in the right spot, you should have ducks in the decoys before shooting time damn near every day.

Well, I guess that makes you one of those rich, sit on your butt all day, lighting your cigars with $100 bills, law-abiding Westsiders! You should be ashamed!

Ethics----sluicing.
Legal---- shooting outside of set hours.

In this thread you are either a poacher or not.

That about sums it up I'd say. Hours are set. Nothing ethical to debate. Legal vs. not legal.

Remember that canoes/ kayaks etc aren't required to have running lights so watch for them out there.

Maybe not required but is your life worth sneaking up on a brush pile?
I can barely see 10 feet in front of my boat in the dark, fog and rain. Don't assume I see you.
I run slow in the dark with all lights on but it still dangerous.

Wear a headlamp at least.

That's me!  I actually hadn't read the entire thread when I posted.  I would have stayed quiet if I had known I was outing myself!

What an individual regards as "ethical" is as varied as the hairs on a dog.  I see this topic going on forever!

Because it has nothing to do with ethics in anything but the title, it should've be decided with the second post.

I always have my watch set 5 mins ahead.

By the time you wake up and load your gun you should be legal   

[h20hunter]

Should have already been loaded when you left the house right?
