I had a friend who was an avid duck hunter. He was always disgusted by the people who went on property to shoot tame birds. I hunted when I was a kid because my dad and his dad did. I realized pretty early that I didn't enjoy it. It wasn't "fun" to kill things so I stopped. I continued to shoot at the range for about 10 years. I've not been on a range for about 8 years but used to go almost every weekend.

To me, hunting in a blind with decoys isn't a lot different that walking across a field blasting hand-fed game birds from a moral point of view. It is more difficult. Someone was relating a story about a turkey-shoot where the person who shot the head off a turkey took it home. That is pretty grotesque IMO even if it requires someone to be a good shot.
