a couple years ago I was early goose hunting, we brought our range finders and we were over 250 yards away from houses and the shots were hitting the boat dock a homeowner got mad and pulled a rifle out and shot into the water off of his dock and then came out on his jet ski to get us to come to the bank so he could yell at us. at that time twra and Hamilton county sheriffs pulled up. long story short we were legal and he was about 1 more outburst away from going to jail especially when they found out he shot a rifle into the water to get our attention.
and shots over 100 yards are just like large raindrops due to the lack of velocity, and with the light waterfowl presence on chick I do believe it could not have been over a couple of shots, not like flooded timber in Arkansas.
happy hunting see you boys on the water!!
