From the regs.."The regulations require hunters to have an adequate means of retrieving birds and immediately make every reasonable effort to retrieve a migratory game bird that has been killed or injured, and if it is still alive that they kill it"

..."so they went home for a small aluminum skiff to retrieve their ducks."

Not sure how this is considered 'immediate'. Just say'n.

Life is too short to have a 'hate on' for so many things or people. Isn't it?
