Some stuff in there every guest in a duck blind should know

quote:

Calling ducks varies widely, as do opinions on when and how to do it. Just realize you may be the best in your woods, but get used to the opinion of others that you are not. Use a duck call only when asked. Or ask before you assume it’s OK to start playing your music.


quote:

Old-timers are the best at handling these situations. The art of putting a “pitch” to the call is practiced regularly in the duck woods. That’s when a grizzled duck hunter will look at you flatly and say “I need to put a pitch to that call.”


quote:

As a novice you are glad to receive any and all help you can get, especially in regards to someone tuning your call. You hand it over, and the veteran “pitches” it into deep water. The message should be clear.

Don't shoot with your barrel 1 foot from someone's ear

Don't shoot early

Shut the f up

Hell I don't call unless someone asks me to. Usually I'm hunting with others in their blind...their blind..their call.

Is this for real? I've only been duck hunting once, and we hardly saw anything. I don't know much about duck hunting.

Yes.

Your white arse face is like a huge arse beacon. They can see it from a mile away.

When you look up they can often see your face and it spooks them

don't drink and expect to shoot with me
BE frickING STILL when we are calling
DON't POINT at ducks.... describe where they are..ie... 3 oclock crossing low... it's probably cormorants but hey BE STILL...
Leave you shiny arse gun in the bottom of the blind
STILL MEANS STILL... it doesn't mean grab your gun.

I know you just got your dog back from the "pro" trainer.... you still can't bring it.

cover your fish bellie white neck....

don't shoot just to see if you can reach em

if you think it is sky busting it probably is....

Do you want to shoot some ducks or just look at them?

I tend to agree with the no alcohol since it's a safety thing. There is always plenty of time to drink later.

We manage to do pretty good without making our guest feel like they are at a job. Safety, have fun are pretty much our only "rules"

You could wear a mask or paint or wine cork your face.

But God fricking forbid you do something that the Robertson's do so you can actually watch the ducks instead of staring at the grass/mud/water/empty shell covered ground imagining where they are and if they are even coming.
