Jump-shooting will whack woodies

Expert duck callers such as Josh Green know less calling means more results when it comes to mallards.

Jump-shooting is a popular past-time among duck hunters, and it produces plenty of woodies — especially in the western half of the state, where duck habitat is limited to waterways.

Jump-shooting is done mostly by paddling a canoe or johnboat around the curves of small streams and rivers and flushing ducks. The hunter in the front of the boat does the shooting, and the hunter in the back of the boat paddles. Responsibilities are swapped after a predetermined period of time or distance — or after the hunter in the front fills his limit.
