Skybusting usually results in nobody killing ducks...and you dont shoot a mans swing. To bad about the young men hated to hear it figure they'll be removing some if not all the blinds.

Aren’t you supposed to set up where the ducks swing out in range? Don’t even need decoys or a call that way.

Dont need any of that stuff NE Wildlife. When you see them on a farm pond just approach on the dam side. Sneak up over the top and when they take off shoot a few

P.S. never had anybody shoot at me for doing that either. Or even get mad.

Maybe old guy came over, survivor and old man got into it . Survivor shoots old man and his 2 buddies( wanting to go into law enforcement they said) were not down for it and get shot by survivor. Dump the body, make up story and head to shore with two dead friends.

This was my thinking too.

If he just caught a few stray pellets from the first two being shot he would be wounded but still in a position to fight. A shot column is still pretty compact at the ranges we're talking about in this situation.

You'd last about 2 hours on most duck areas before somebody stomped a mudhole in ya with that attitude.

After the newest news on this story, I'm starting to think that this 3rd guy in the blind is definitely hiding something. He may in fact turn out to be the perpetrator is what I'm starting to think.

Massac, that is kinda what I am thinking also. His story keeps changing and it doesn't add up. Real easy to say what happened when there is no one else to say other wise. I trap many places that border the Reelfoot national wildlife refuge, and just from the stories I have been told have zero desire to ever hunt on that lake.
