It's illegal to shoot across a body of water also.

what about duck hunting? how do you figure?
unethical- :tup:
illegal- nope.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

If you google it and look at hunter saftey class regs it is clear that you can't shoot across a body of water because of the chances of ricoche.

That may be the case but is there a LAW that says you can't do it? I don't think so. Besides there are different scenarios where you may be shooting "across water" and some may be safe and others not. It would be stupid to have a law for that.

Wrong. You can even shoot a rifle from the water in a boat, to the land, as long as the motorized motion has stopped.

You can shoot across water. With rifle, shotgun, pistol, muzzle and bow. BB gun too. Slingshot.

You can shoot across water without shooting "at" it. Nothing really dangerous about that.
