Well, when I hunted waterfowl, I was usually shooting UP in the air, with #4 steel shot. I’ll admit to “jump shooting” ducks while walking the Rock River, but I still was pointing the gun UP.
Rifles are alot more dangerous at a distance, during the gun deer season. ALL guns are dangerous, it’s the people on the trigger that are questionable.
But I think the percentage of cachers that use boats, kayaks, and the like, are a smaller number than those that walk in the woods. Your more likely to screw up a hunters deer shot than his waterfowl shot!
Just my opinion…
By the way, I quit hunting waterfowl in 1988. It was cheaper to eat duck in a restaurant than by a license, 2 waterfowl stamps, steel shot, and get hassled by game wardens, just to shoot A duck! The DNR does tend to take the fun out of hunting. 😕
