we've always slaughtered them just floating down the river by my house, they are real nervous ducks, hard to decoy, hard to sneak up on, they will sit there and stare at you and as long as you don't move they will stay, but flinch a finger towards the trigger and they are gone in a blink. passing shots will be pretty much all you get in a blind, smart little things and they don't usually sit with other ducks besides woodducks, they mainly only eat acorns so aren't interested by other ducks feeding

I've had some success this year making sitting sounds with my whistle. Haven't got an actual woodie call, just one of those duck commander whistles.
Another thing you can do is if they're flying somewhere, they usually take the same path every morning. Me and some friends found where they were crossing a gravel road to go into a brake every morning. We've burnt their arse up several times right there this year. That's the easiest thing to do; just cut em off.

Woodies will decoy, but they won't fly into the decoys like "normal" ducks. They will usually land upwind beyond your spread then swim into the decoys. Sometimes they will make a low pass then circle around and land out-of-sight and paddle on in to the fakes.

Do what Phil Robertson said when he first started marketing his wood duck call......

Find the biggest thicket in the river....

Get there about 30 minutes before dark....

Blow a Duck Commander wood duck call....

Hold on!!!
