I learned a lot while duck hunting. When they fly away they always seem to circle back around to get a better look at you. But usually just out of shotgun range. The other thing I learned was not to use steel shot on a gun with an adjustable choke. Tears it to heck. Ducks have excellant eyesight also. You cannot sneak up one. They will see you 100 yards off. We used to have a pet duck and it would always warn us when someone was coming near our yard by quaking. Bob Simons
