Lansing reports that with duck season two months away, conservation officers urge retraining on gun ranges to prevent spent-shot wounding. A study of 418 live-trapped ducks found 125 with body shots, about 30 percent, and many wounded ducks are unretrieved. Gun ranges vary by gauge, with 12, 16, and 20 gauges delivering about 55, 50, and 45 yards respectively. hunters should mark ranges to ensure precise aim and hold fire until ducks are in effective range.
