Dispatching Ducks/Geese with a 22LR?

[Vermillionaire]

I got into a argument with a guy at work the other day. I have never herd this before but he says it's legal to dispatch wounded birds with a 22LR. is this true?

I have no idea about the legality but why not just wring its neck? Also there is a danger of a 22 or any rifle round deflecting off of the water and becoming a hazard to others.

No person shall take migratory game birds: with a trap, snare, net, rifle, pistol, swivel gun, shotgun larger than 10 gauge, punt gun, battery gun, machine gun, fish hook, poison, drug, explosive, or stupefying substance.

Im pretty sure thats illegal

NON-TOXIC SHOT: No person may take ducks, geese (including brant), or coots while possessing shot (either in shotshells or as loose shot for muzzleloading) other than approved non-toxic shot. For a list of approved non-toxic shot, see

The guy with the 22 is an idiot, don't argue with him anymore because he'll bring you down to his level and beat ya with experience.
