Whats cracking spence man.......hav ent heard from you in a while......gonna come out and shoot your harly with me again this year? maybe see if we can get some more scoters?
Hunt big water, if you can hit a river or large creek through out a line of decoys and hunt the birds that fly by.....if you hunt a pond or shallow, hunt it early morning and late afternoon and try searching somewhere else for birds that are alreay landed during the day.........
ask for permission to hunt private properties, you would be supprised how many farmers hate ducks and geese for all the damage they do to there crops, eating seed, grass, and newly growing crops....they make warfields out of a freshly seeded lot............
Just ask, be professional, and share your experiance with them.......but persistance, patience, and a steady trigger and you'll be good.......dont be afraid to scout for areas........
