re: Ducks just circling

OP descibed 80% of all my rice field hunts.


Best advice I can give is that they hate the wooded edges of fields because thats the easiest place for hunters to hide. A layout blind or even kneeling/laying with a grass mat over you in the middle of the field will have far better results.

True story, I was hunting a rice field in Ark one time by laying in the brushiest part of the levee on the edge. Saw hundreds of birds and none would commit. Got tired of hearing shooting in the field behind me so I got up and stood there and watched a guy limit out by sitting on a 5 gal bucket in the middle of the field behind me.
