Newbie question
« on: November 22, 2012, 08:22:17 PM »
 When it comes to etiquette on public land, what is the consensus about hanging out and waiting for ducks to come to decoys... someone else's decoys :dunno:.  I witnessed this last week between (2) hunters- one was on a ditch bank, the other was in a blind, and they were separated by about 125 meters.  The ducks would start dropping, and the hunter downwind would start blasting.  The other hunter would get shots as well... but usually miss.  If I don't call, or have decoys as of yet, and pull the same thing, is this a no-no?

I wouldn't, but that's just me.  I'd feel like an *censored* doing that.

you lost me when you started talking about the hunter on the downwind side....

all I know is; you will forever burn in the fires of hell if you shoot at birds that heading for someone else's decoys (within a reasonable distance)and you have none set up yourself.

Ducks were landing into the wind, heading for the spread.  The 'downwind' hunter didn't have decoys, etc.  As birds are dropping altitude to land, the 'downwind' hunter would take shots.  The decoy hunter was then 'upwind' of the decoys.

I get the point.  Don't do this :chuckle:

Yes. English only  :chuckle: :spank_butt:
