 Re: Need help
I used to hunt off frazen rd(?) Near airport..... ducks are suckers in rice fields....and when planes fly over the geese come down in you face.... marsh and lakes are a totally different animal....what lake are you trying to hunt?

 Re: Need help
I was in the same position growing up....my brother now hunts but has only recently started up on towakani....he is hiking in now because he cant find a boat ramp with water..... Scouting, scouting scouting.....also pay attention where everyone else is hunting and whos shooting...... When Ive gone up to hunt with my brother we have always hunted in a cove but with water low he has hunted points in the big water.

 Re: Need help
Jesus Christ. Lake naming boom scouters. Shut the fuck up.  Not the stuff to be teaching new hunters.

 Need help
Keep exploring your local lakes- gain experience and find the ducks.
Hard to get any info over the forums regarding hunting locations - lake naming is a serious offense.
Best bet is to ask for PMs regarding hunting locations and someone to hunt with. ( even this may be viewed as offensive)
Best of luck!

 Re: Need help
Holy shit @ this thread. Definitely confirms my other thread about the declining gene pool of hunters.

 Re: Need help
And DeathMetalDukk sorry not all of us have parents who hunt. You should be proud of someone asking for help and not trying to pretend they no everything. So before you go degrading people. Start thinking about what others are going through!

 Re: Need help
How fucking hard is it to ride around in a boat until you see ducks get up and figure out how you will set up there the next day? Nobody in my family really duck hunts either but it doesn't take a very smart man to know you hunt where the ducks are.

 Re: Need help
Experience comes with time ! Spend as much time as you can scouting and learning about duck hunting. Please dont be like everyone else and follow people to their spots and phuk their hunt up. Learn to be a true Sportsman and it will pay off......if you fail keep trying never give up and eventually you will be posting pics like everyone else !
I live in Hamshire and i got a flooded rice field and i have hunted the marsh since i was a 5 with my dad and they are alot different

 Re: Need help
following someone to their spot then hunting it will only teach you how to be an asshole. It won't teach you a thing about hunting. Go scout, learn the lake, watch the flight patterns and "HUNT" hence the word Hunt. Respecting other hunters will earn you respect, the other may earn you an ass beating.
