I witnessed "Released Mallards" at Winchester's Nilo Farms about 35 years ago. Ducklings were trained to walk down a hill to get fed. As they grew, they learned to fly to the food. Shooters were positioned between the launch point and the food. You could have been wearing blaze orange and waved your hat - it wouldn't have made any difference. They were flying to the corn. Maybe the process has changed. Hope so. Not my cup of tea.
