Sorry to hijack the thread but I think there are some woodies behind my in-laws house. How would I go about hunting these things?

I've never duck hunted and have no gear. There is a levee with some standing water inside of it. I've jumped some ducks while walking the levee and I believe they are woodies based on the sound they make, but I've never had a good look at them. This is a wooded area with a couple of fields and ponds nearby. I saw 4 or 5 ducks flying in that direction when I was driving down their road yesterday right at dark.

1. I've assumed they are wood ducks, is that what it sounds like based on the description/area?
2. Would I just get in close to the water before daylight and still hunt them?

Was suppost to hunt with jsmoke, but he got on a slow boat to China yesterday. Still made a hunt with my daughter and SIL at a WMA. I did let them do most of the shooting. Daughter baged 3 grays, SIL,2 grays and myself I did get 1 gray. Emailed a picture to jsmoke for my 1 gray.



MOT, better have a lic and duck stamps before shooting any duck. If you have them, look for a big Oak Tree next to the water and just sit next to it. The wood ducks will land right under it.


Oh, I used my son'e Browning Maxx yesterday. I rate it as a POS! Does not fit good and kicks just as bad as my 870 Wingmaster. WTF does people see in this POS?

The Browning Maxus? Dude, you must shoot the gun backwards or something because that gun does not kick much at all. I never walk away with a sore shoulder. The fit? Well, that's just personal preference...the Beretta Xtrema2 didn't fit me. I love my Browning and won't take people calling it a POS!
