Thank You all for the info..
1. Not going to get too serious... Just want to get out there and enjoy a little nature.
2. I would rather be in a deer stand with a WWII rifle, but I really don't have a place to hunt.
3. Coke bottles??? Hummm
4. If I get a couple ducks I think i will be happy. I have seen a few group of migrating ducks in the cove here. Seems the trees break the wind and they have a nice still area or two on the N side.
I will probably wait a few weeks, since the weather pattern is still Southerly wind and high temps...
Thanks All.. I will post more.
btw- Thank You mr duck hunter for your well written response sir.

Hell, get out there now! South winds are the better duck killing days.

If you're hunting public, spend most of your time scouting not hunting. If I don't have a chance to burn my barrel off, I'm not going.

Very good advice, and this thread is full of good advice. In the interest of keeping it simple, I would suggest a few things. I know this sounds elementary, but hot, where the ducks already want to go. Spend time carefully observing the places you might want to hunt. You will see a pattern quickly develop, depending on the direction of the wind. Take notes of the patterns. When you decide to hunt, camouflage yourself to the very best of your ability and keep your head as low as you can while still observing their flight. Use only a whistle until you can manage a feed call only on a regular duck call. Wait until they get as close as possible to shoot. When do you think they’re close enough, wait a second or two more. It is a wonderful sport, and if you like, watching birds fly and listening to their calls, you will fall in love with it quickly. I wish you the very best of luck!

in the 60's, lake Salvador we targeted foggy days and rode in the fog jump shooting poul dou and Dogris from a small flat boat. Green jeans could not locate the source of gun shots

Fog can be a waterfowl’s best friend! It is obviously its own camouflage and limits sight distance for the birds. A win win!
