What type of water do you prefer to hunt?

[steelnducks]

Do you like to hunt ponds, lakes, rivers, creeks, or salt? Which ones your favorite and why?

Whichever one doesn't have another hunter 50 yards away!

I love hunting small ponds and creeks because early season wood ducks get my blood pumping.

I prefer ponds but open fields can be allot of fun.

I think field hunting is fun but prefer to hunt the small ponds and rivers. Done the best there and its downright fun.

I prefer to hunt whatever type is holding the birds.  I scout, and wherever I find birds is my favorite.

While I prefer to hunt water, a day when ya set up right and really fool'em in the field is fun too.

The reason I really enjoy water is my dogs absolutely love it.  If the day comes that they make hunting with dogs illegal, I'll likely hang it all up.

Agreed.  I love hunting the "X" and completely fooling the birds.  Nothing better than locked wings and landing gear.  Even if it's only two birds a day.  I love it!

I think I would prefer ponds/marshes for the simplicity, but it has been so long since I have hunted these... Mostly I hunt saltwater, shoreline or open water and I used to mostly hunt a river.

I love hunting small ponds and marshes, but getting permission to hunt them around my area has been super hard, so most of my hunting has been lakes, and going to hit try Nisqually Basin this year.

I love hunt small potholes out of a layout blind. Having 1000 mallards coming in on a 1/4 acre pond is something that will never get old. My next favorite would be large flooded feilds. My best hunt of the year last year my girlfriend and I shot 2 limits of green and drake pins in a flooded horse pasture, water was only about 3 inches deep.

pothole ponds are my favorite water to hunt. I like the little ponds that you can throw a rock across, especially when they are partially frozen so the birds only have a little open water.

Is it duck season yet?

Definitely rivers during the the first few days of an extreme cold snap. Don't care much for lakes so tidewater or the bigC for the rest of the season. Sheet water on private land is like gold for those who have connections. I hunted a cornfield of roughly ten acres once. It was diked and flooded, with slightly underwater pathways leading to submerged indi pits that swiveled. That was a Yakama Ducknado.

I like wide open water. Roughly 15 to 20 feet deep in the middle of the river.
