Got skunked but not for lack of trying...
« on: November 06, 2009, 02:43:00 PM »
Anyone have any luck today?  A buddy and I got skunked today.  There were a bunch of ducks flying at daybreak but they were to high and dead set on getting out of town.  Shot at a few but wasn't able to connect today.

Took 3 guys out this morning.  We were limited by 9:00.  The wind and rain helped.
Cut em!

Yes, we got into the bright footed mallards today.  Starting to see the larger flocks of ducks as well.
Cut em!

I've been hunting Skagit this year. I dont have a boat so I've been walking in. Most areas are pretty limited to how far I can walk to get away from people b/c of tide guts. Any other general areas for getting down to the salt and killing some widgeon? I'm buying a boat next year.

For those of you who are hunting public land and getting limits, two questions:

are you mostly pass shooting, or are these ducks wingset?
are your decoy spreads huge, or do you rely on small, yet more realistic deeks?


Reason I ask is because I usually hunt my folks fields and do OK, this year I've tried a couple public spots and the birds are a mile high, even in weather. seems like a bigger spread might be the ticket. (they tend to give me a look, but nothing serious, and with 4 or 5 blinds all within earshot calling i'm trying to figure out how to set myself apart)
