Shell limit doesn't seem to be the fix for ridiculous shooting practices and nonstop contest calling. As waterfowlers we need to educate the new recruits( seems to be a lot) about ethical practices and sportsmen's etiquette. Glad to see new folks partaking in waterfowl hunting, but sure don't enjoy seeing shots that were too far for lead in the day and misuse or lack of understanding the true purpose of the call.

Most people watch the hunting shows and think the hunters are dropping birds at 100+ yards every shot. They aren't, the camera just makes it look that way. Also, most people don't go out and pattern their gun with different chokes, shot size, shell manufacturers, and distance. They see the adds, watch the product promotional shows, and believe they can "be like Mike". It was always a lot of fun putting guys with $1500 guns to shame with an old 870, a full choke, and 2 3/4" #6 Winchester Express Steel. Practice is a wonderful thing.

You are correct with all the commercialization of this wonderful sport and the perception of shot selections on videos. I agree many don't find the right recipe of shells, choke and gun they're using. |

Steel shot through a full choke ? I thought that was a no-no.
