Any of you duck hunters rest your blind during the season other than in between splits? If so, how long? And will you also hunt so many days a week?

We do this with our blind especially if we feel new birds are not making it down. I'm just curious as to what others do.

Our "blind" is various small 1-2 acre farm ponds and beaver ponds so yes we rotate them and only hunt in the am. Usually we dont hunt a spot more than once every 3 days unless the ducks are just falling from the sky.

We usually will only hunt our blind three days a week. We will do four but really never more than that unless we just have birds everywhere. We will also take five to seven days off about first of year to rest it and re brush for the January hunting. Plus we tend to over hunt it over Christmas holidays.

Then we continue with the three days a week through January 27.

We have a small timber hole that we only hunt 2-3 times a week and never hunt the afternoon, but in the rice field blinds there is usually someone in it everyday. It's been day to day one day we will kill 3 limits of big ducks and the next we might only kill 3 ducks. Most ducks are coming in the blind after lunch and we only hunt till bout ten or eleven at the latest so they are in there all afternoon and usually gone by the morning anyways.

Shoot 'em while they're there. I've seen times where 6 people stood on a levee and limted out and the next day not ONE shot.

We always hunted every morning we could. We were usually out for 8:00 and didn't hunt afternoons.

Depending in weather conditions, such as if a front was coming, I would hunt the middle of the day.
