Nov 22, 2008 · Wind over 20 mph ducks will sit still. Ducks will land into wind true to a degree, but fly with wind upon morning flight. So when you set up remember, wind at your back they will be at your back first most often before they turn to come in for a landing.

Oct 20, 2023 · If you keep your shots under 30 yards you should be golden with just about any steel 4 or 3 shot on the market. Steel 3s are a better all around shot size for big ducks in my opinion. Out to 40 yards I'd say steel 3 shot maybe even 2s for big ducks later in the season. Honestly I don't like steel 4s for big ducks and find 3s to be a better option.

Oct 3, 2011 · Ive pulled 7-8 water oak acorns out of the neck of woodies in Louisiana. Then puddles of different sorts. Ducks that hit grain fields are probaly the cream of the crop. Whoever said buffleheads are terrible are absolutely correct as far as I am concerned. Ducks like Dos Gris(bluebills, Scaupe) are strong but in a good gumbo mellow out.

Nov 3, 2008 · For them ducks are the most important thing Sep-Jan, but god forbid they do anything after the season. Writing a check is fine if they can win something, but try to get them to give up a Saturday to help improve habitat, they would shoot their wife to get out of that.

Oct 23, 2003 · I have killed a lot of ducks in my lifetime. I usually aim at the beak of a duck moving from right to left or left to right and have always had good luck. The only time I will change from that is when I am shooting Teal or Wood Ducks. They fly so fast you have to lead them more. I usually leag then about the length of their body.

Dec 30, 2013 · #5 bismuth would be fine for close work. I load up #6 ITX for ducks and #7 HW18 when I expect a mix of ducks/geese. I have a Remington 870 with the factory fixed modified choke. The key is to pick and choose your shots carefully. Just two weeks ago, my son got his hunter's license and this is his gun for the next few years.

Sep 17, 2008 · we are having our annual ducks unlimited banquet this weekend and i was woundering if any one had any suggestions on some clever but simple games. we have just some of the simple regular games but i guess what im really woundering is can anyone tell me some games that worked real well for them or just any ideas would be appriciated.

Apr 30, 2005 · Do Gris/Tuxedo Ducks: Rigneck Sussie: Mallard Hen Smilin/Hollywood Mallards, Spooneys: Shovelers (This one is more a family joke) Marsh Birds: Black Mallard/Orange wing teal/TT's and then when things are goin bad and theres no ducks at …

Jan 5, 2011 · For pheasant I skin it making it look like a chicken you buy at the store pre-cooked and then cut the breasts off, and whatever else is on the bone.
