I agrre with you on the closeness and the benefits of shooting it close ,,
making a clean kill,,, etc. ,, every one is missing the point here ,, it is

common ducks to kill, eat and whatever ,,,and by my hunting in the past I
have supported the wetlands and wood sand streams and whatever with the
gear I purchased and licenses
