I have 2k birds in a field n 13 guys going what should i do about hiding that many layouts?

I got a good duck and goose spot. I wanna hunt geese, but I also wanna hunt ducks. Both are there.

I wanna put out a small duck spread and a small goose spread in the same spot and call both in and have both opportunities instead of one.

I heard mixed opinions about geese landing near ducks, vice versa, etc. What are your thoughts?

The plan is to have a small duck spread, a small goose spread, and a huge landing zone in the middle. I'm gonna call both duck and geese and get whatever comes in

Missed my morning hunt getting marbles out of the bathroom drain, luckily jumped these 5 minutes before work. Forgot my waders tho so I had to get them in my underwear 😬

Trying to make my own jerk rig for this season, I’m just starting to get into waterfowl hunting. I love the action compared to big game but I’m not the greatest caller or shot when it comes to flying birds. I’m thinking of putting some motion in my decoy spreads. I’ve got a dozen decoys 6 are new and all shiny and pretty and 6 have seen better days. I’m thinking put the older decoys on the rig and keep the shiny ones still? Does it matter? Am I overthinking?

Hey everyone,

I'm based in Northern NJ and looking to start duck hunting on public land. I just don't have a boat.

For those of you hunting in NJ, how do you typically hunt ducks without a boat (if possible)? Are there public WMAs or other spots where you can walk in, set up decoys, and hunt from shore or shallow water?

Trying to figure out how people get started hunting public land here without having to invest in a boat.

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

I still dont know how guys are doing ticka-ticka so fast for the feed call, but it can do the K sound faster for a cut call but not sure how good it sounds

I only got 1 duck but it was my first redhead. IMO one of the most beautiful ducks.

I started waterfowl hunting for the first time last year. I was going with another guy and using his boat and decoys. I wanted to try to do some duck hunting on my own since my schedule for work is kind of screwy. I don’t have a boat or a dog. Is there any decent walk in blinds in Western Washington? The locations seem to be pretty well hidden.

Got a couple pairs of wood ducks for the veterans hunt last weekend. Only 5 days to the opener and I can’t wait to see some big ducks!

Just need some cold weather to push them down here!

The stake is nice but the area I’m thinking of placing it would be a bit tough and it might be easier to send it out as a floater.

Anyone on here do the conversion and if so what was the best method you found?

Thanks in advance!

Got to take a youth out hunting this season. He got his birds pretty quick then we were able to sit back and watch the show.

Getting ready to go on a guided hunt tomorrow with some friends / family and my daughter started blowing on my calls.

Found an old decoy at an antique store. 3d printed a chlorine tablet holder and attached it to the bottom.

Details
- Shotgun: Benelli Super Black Eagle 2, 28” barrel
- Choke: Carlson’s Cremator Long Range
- Ammunition: Federal Blackcloud 3”, #2

- Ranges: 20, 35, and 40 yards
- Pellet count:
20 = all pellets didn’t feel like counting
35 = 96 pellets
40 = 110 pellets (tbh I might have miscounted and I was too lazy to recount so take it how you will lol)

How we thinking it did?

2 years since last time I was out shooting waterfowl. Got three Golden Eye and three mallards in total, great day!

4 different species for a taste test. Green wing teal, wigeon, pintail and mallard. Which of these is your favourite tasting duck?

Shot in North Dakota.

Looking for some reasonably priced waders what will last a long time and be durable

Hey, everybody.

Apologies if this is covered elsewhere, but all me searches of this sub just brought up questions about actually hunting FROM the float tube/kayak.

I have been hunting with a buddy who had a dog, and this year will be hunting by myself for the first time. I’ll be hunting from a blind on the bank of a large river, and have an 18’ decoy pole and hook and a life jacket. I was wondering, is a basic float tube like the Caddis Nevada good enough for retrieval? With the pole, I’m thinking I shouldn’t need to get more than 20-30 feet from the shore, but didn’t know if there was some better way that doesn’t involve buying a dog and training it, or hauling a kayak or John boat 3/4 of a mile to the blind.

For strictly retrieval purposes (not hunting) would this be a viable option?

Shot someone’s 12ga at the range the other day and am looking the identify the foreend and stock.

First can anyone confirm this is a rem 870?

The stock seems to be from Boyds: https://www.boydsgunstocks.com/product-configurator/ap-remington-870-12-ga-stk-3u2172j01zz

But I cannot find the foreseen online to save my life

I got my kayak ready and some scouting done before I go out in 2 weeks. removable camo burlap panels. I’m excited!
