stop pissin in the wind. gotta make a move would be my call. One of my marsh blinds that had been badass for 15+ years started getting cattails infront of it about 5 yrs ago. man i fought it and fought it but finally said screw it and built a platform blind 200 yrds away. paid off instantly. banks and the contours of ponds change all the time. even something thats not in ur field can change flight patterns away from ur blind. 1 year then maybe its a freak thing but year after year then its time to make a change. get some people wt strong backs and weak minds. promise em a few hunts. buy lunch and beer and move it.

geese want an open field period. the best place for geese is allways smack dab in the middle of any field. tree lines are fun for passing shots but they decoy in the middle.

ducks can and will land anywhere. however depending on the sun and wind (extremely important) backing up to the trees might not be a good call. if ur best hunting is on cold front days put that blind so the north winds at ur back. if its warm days the opposite.

remember by the time ducks and geese make it down here in november they have been shot at since sept 1st all the way from canada. the shadows might make them leary from the trees. move the blind and use that to ur advantage.

sorry for the long post, but i live and breath waterfowl hunting.

i need to write 'blind' on my blind? well shite. that's what i've been doing wrong.

Don't give a shite. Rice fields are for ducks to rest in.
