Title: Resting ducks
Post by: 95powersmoker on December 21, 2014, 06:22:34 AM
I keep kicking up resting mallards on my walk into where I've been hunting. They are always sitting on some sheet water just off the pathway. My question is, are they getting there in the evening time and staying the night? Might not be a bad spot to throw a half dozen decoys out in the evening to try to get them before shooting light ends.

If that's their roost and you shoot them off of there they are gone....

I wouldn't worry about it being a roost... it's just sheet water. Yes, hunt it late afternoon.

Yeah, they'll be in his trunk.....   :chuckle:

Don't forget, shooting ends at sunset for ducks, not 1/2 hour after.

Nice Loki  :), I meant you can shoot a roost once normally and the survivors leave.
