Title: Potholes Reservoir, anyone had luck there or near Seattle?
Post by: cowboycraig on December 09, 2014, 12:56:52 PM: I am totally new to Duck Hunting, but not hunting. Looking for area's to scout. Live in Seattle Area. Not sure how far I need to go for some good Duck action? Any locations recommended?

Thanks!

Sorry to be vague. Thinking "Success anywhere from Pothole to Seattle". I hunt Deer every year so familiar with hunting, but Duck hunting would be 100% new.

Would even pay a guide to show me the ropes.

Thanks!
