Offseason blues
« on: March 11, 2026, 06:37:50 PM »
Just got done with my first season of duck hunting. Was addicted right away. Still learning the ropes obviously but man I’m already ready for the 2026 season. What does everyone here do during the offseason to prep for the following season? Anything a beginner like myself should be working on? Thanks!

Shoot trap, or skeet to improve your shooting.

Start road tripping and build up an assortment of access points. Fishing has given me tons of ideas for hunting. Go drive through Ridgefield and count birds. Great time to find a boat if you haven't one. Waterfowl season never ends, but shooting em only lasts four months.

Empty out the goose trailer and repaint the snow goose spread (got about 700 fullbody snows to touch up) repaint/flock 200ish canadas, fully flock 180 duck fullbodys. Its gonna be a busy spring/summer but first gotta shoot some turkeys
