Any body tried duck kites?
2 weeks out from opening and I'm starting to get the s#@t what I forgotten, whats going to give us an edge?
On advice we purchased a hidgon splasher flasher, I think it's going to be the ducks nuts.
Going to check and top up the feeder this weekend and leave the pond alone untill the opening day.

Opening for duck season?
Where you from?

you lucky yall season is about to open we still have a few months until teal season is even colse. Yall tear them up for us boys in the south

I wouldn't mind going make a hunt up there. Cant they bait there ponds up there ?

POST PICS during season

Hell yeh! Good luck wish my season was starting

that is some good stuff right there

If anybody does make it this far south on holiday I'm always keen for a hunt, ducks, deer, goats, rabbits, I'm not a guild by any stretch of the imagination and the most I can guarantee is a hungover, still something different.

So nobody tried a kite?

thought about trying but never pulled the trigger on getting any. I figured since the ducks around where i hunt look at the robo-ducks so hard an flare sometimes it might hurt my spread more than helping it out

I wish we could shoot lead where I lived.The last day I took a turkey load out and lined up on a coot 60 yards out..stoned him dead The ducks I hunt seem to be immune to steel. The geese take it like champs too.

Are you talking about a JackKite? If so, they work awesome for Geese. Never used it for ducks, but they do have a mallard version.
Biggest problem is storing and transporting them. Unless you break them down flat, they will look like sh!t the following season.

You have to assemble them. Technically they snap together, but it would be a major PITA to take them apart each time. I used a large 3 X 2 cardboard box, and put them in it. I also used cane poles (for fishing) to fly them. Works very well, but cumbersome. Suggest you purchase ONE first and try it out before a major investment. I use 6 for goose hunting.

I bought some fatal flashers last year but never used them. They look real good on youtube, but sorta silly in person.

I've never used the reel wings but I've been told they were hard to keep up in the air at times with certain wind conditions.

Seems like the wind don't blow in Texas during duck season lol don't think they would work too great

I have watched a ton of videos of New Zealand hunting. Do you really need kites? Thought they came in no matter what. IMO all that extra crap takes up space. Bought a higdon pulsator once. Worked one time and broke. Never again. Its just like fishing. All that gear is marketed for the hunter/fisher rather than the duck/fish. It lures more folks than game.
