Steel, Tungsten... Which is better?
I'm going Duck hunting again this year. I was self-taught last year after discovering that I own some pretty good habitat and now know how to cook a duck (pitiful I know) and make it taste good.
Last year I made several mistakes: I bought a super combo license. I went duck hunting (a couple times) and thankfully a friend who hunts ducks told me that I still needed a duck stamp, so this year I have it all, including fed stamp.
Next, I used some old lead shot and downed a good percentage of my shots until I learned that lead is also illegal and so I went to steel shot which seemed to not bring down much at all.
I am sure that perhaps it is a practice thing, but which type of legal ammo does the best to replicate lead shot? I have an 870 express w/ a 3" magnum chamber.
Thirdly: I was wondering what the waterfowling faux paus are? Is shooting a duck on the water considered to be "bad form" or is it OK?
Thanks for your info!
