Next season you will have your duck blind and your goose blind back. Sounds like you win.

Your first statement is wrong. Sky busting educates birds. When you sky bust, how many birds are you killing out of a group? None! Maybe 1. Now the whole group has seen what a blind looks like and since this happens several times a morning, they learn a lot. I think what Cajunsorc is trying to get across is being misinterpreted. Does a muzzle blast from 15 yards teach a bird just as much as a blast from 100 yards? Absolutely! But when your smoking 6 or 7 birds a flock, ain't many left to remember you so which is more efficient? I didn't learn how to work birds by shooting as soon as I could kill them, I learned by missing out on some birds a lot of days. A lot of people get caught up in wanting to "kill" more than "hunt". I was lucky enough to have someone teach me the right way to do things
