Some of the newbie duck hunters on youtube videos are hilarious or just downright disappointing if they hunt near you I guess. For those wondering why ducks don't really hit the usual spots on public lakes these videos explain it.

as far as I am concerned the biggest sins of waterfowlers....

1. Sky busting
2. shooting after hours
3. encroaching on another hunter legally there and already set up..(I have parked a boat in the decoy spread of a trespasser)....

easier in a marsh/field blind. Try standing next to a tree in the timber and tell me they don't flare of your face.

At that point, it's to late, at least that's what I'm told.

Newb here, guess I'm going shave and putting my calls on eBay.

I have heard the best way to stay warm duck hunting is to shave off all your body hair, minus your head. Helps with insulation or something...

I at what yall consider terrible weather conditions. I would smile and ask for more.

Oh...and I'm calling all day long. I sound just like the guys on my app.

Oh, and I face paint for specks. Those frickers can see everything. If we are hunting ducks in the timber, I will just get in the shadows against a tree and keep my face down until the deal is sealed. Never had problems with them flaring on me. I can remember sitting in the cafe after morning hunts and 80% of the customers had face paint on. It was not a big deal. Haven't been in a couple years now though. I'm sure the DD crowd is all there, resplendent in their full regalia of Drake gear and designer L'Oreal face paint. As long as I got the end of my Wop nose and below my eyes, I felt like I was good.

I've never duck hunted. Or really any type of hunting really. But it sounds like fun so I'm gonna start. Any suggestions?

All of these posts sound like me talking about new turkey hunters.

And as far as me now giving duck hunting a try:

What are all these face painters doing looking at the ducks for?

Damn, anyone have a pound town sticker I can use? Almost finished my checklist.

My buddies always mess with me bc the only 4 things i say in the blind are

"Shut the frick up"
"Get the frick down"
"Dont fricking move they are coming right over"

and then "Take em"

They basically sit down the whole time while i and another are on the lookout. IMO you never need 4 people standing around looking.
