Patternmaster, then learn to hunt. .

WTF is that suppose to mean?? "Learn to hunt"?? The 3 of us shot 18 ducks before noon in less than ideal conditions. I'm not complaining, but like all things I strive to improve

It means exactly what it says.

If you have to sky bust to kill birds your doing it wrong. I like a patternmaster for dense patterns. I don't use it as a crutch,on days I have trouble finishing birds.

Anyone can be a shooter.

Yeah and anyone can be a *censored*bag like you too .. Shut your mouth

Nice.

Now you resort to name calling.

Eventually you will figure it out until then, shoot tall, shoot often.

I like a little upfront name calling rather than snag, passive aggressive comments toward someone whom you have no clue of their hunting habits.

First post tells me all I need to know...... Why bother pass shooting, the fun is fooling the birds. Bringing them in close. Anybody can pass shoot.

What do you think we were trying to do?? Of course I would rather bring them closer ... But the friggin' field was solid ice .. Had no other options than that spot .. We were getting them in but I'm sorry I couldnt get them to land on the tip of my barrel .. And there were alot of passes we didnt take pokes at ..
In my opinion it takes good shooting skills to make those long range shots.. Take that last comment just how it sounds .. To each is thier own

I agree that decoying birds is fun but, pass shooting and jump shooting has their place as well. Just two different approaches to hunting ducks.

Thank you!

I'm strangely ok with jump shooting.

I'm just tired of finding wounded birds because jack wagons shout tall.

pass shooting is not the only reason your finding cripples, some guys just aren't good shots and cripple off a lot of ducks, even those in the decoys! And hell yes everybody wants to shoot them feet down in the blocks but does that happen with every single duck you kill? Pass shooting has its place and if the birds give me a pass or two within range but aren't going to commit, I'm taking them. I don't care how good of a caller or how good of a spread you have, the fact is when hunting pressured public land some birds just will not come in. If you are hunting private lands or clubs that rarely get hunted then I could see the possibility. But seriously man this holier than thou attitude is ridiculous, I'll agree skybusting can ruin a guys hunt, but there is a difference between than and effectively pass shooting.

Yes, or I go home empty handed. Which does happen and I'm perfectly ok with it. It's not a holier then thou deal, it's the way it should be.

I guess it's just different for me because when I have to get up at 2 in the morning to get the spot and put in my time and pay the money in gas I am killing that bird on the last pass if they aren't coming in. Worked too hard to let them get away.

I still get up at 2am. Still hunt public land. I do have some private, and a club. At Sauvie it's common for me to show up at 9am the day before. The time I slept in line we shot 3 mallard drakes for 4 guys..

I like to sleep in, show up just at shooting hours or a little later, do a little pass shooting, and then head home to watch the game.

You and me would get along great in the duck blind .. Same story, when I get up at 3 in the morning and drive 2hrs to get to my spot I'm shooting that bird on the last pass too.
And God forbid if a cripple happens to fly off and land in the next field, the 5 bald eagles up in the tree will be thanking me for a free meal

I was in Sportco just the other day and was looking at all the aftermarket choke tubes so I thought this was a good question and was interested to see what different peoples opinions would be. I find it interesting that a simple question turns into an ethical discussion on hunting.

I have learned unless you are in the "blind" (used generically) experiencing their situation it is very difficult to judge what they do or do not do.

Although I am new to this site, I have been member of other forums in the past. Not trying to start or finish anything just an observation.

Has anyone tried or heard anything about the drake killer choke? The guy makes them specifically for your gun from measurements you give him. When I get my new gun ibwas thinking of ordering one.
