The Struggle Session

 

Waterfowling is a way of life.  And I don't mean that in the literal sense of a means to keep you and your family alive; but rather in the far less noble and self-referential justification of a hobby.  When life is on the line, you don't stop to quibble about Sportsmanship or Ethics, you just do what needs did.  But once our immediate material needs are met, we can engage in Leisure and quibble away.
