I need help setting up the decoys and getting the ducks in???? have any tips.
-
The first advice would be scout. I scout everyday for the birds. Then set up according to the wind. Late season I vary the decoy spread according to how the birds react. Sometime I have moved the spread a few times until the birds start coming in good. Stay well hidden as it will improve your shoot, unless you have a prime spot where they just come in. I have pulled all the wind ducks at this time as the birds are very educated on them.
You can also look at other duck hunting sites. Their is a ton of info that can help you out.

put out decoys where you have seen ducks before. If you are not competent with a call, dont use it. Be well hidden, dont move when they are working.
Try to hunt with an experienced hunter and watch and learn

This is a good site to get information from along with ducks unlimited site. A wigeon / pintail whistle can help you out for call shy birds, it doesn't take to much skill to get you by.

Scout!!! Being on the X is the biggest thing by far in waterfowling if you want a quality hunt......don't skimp on yer call and when you do use the call don't use it too much...by a calling CD and listen to it...I would reccomend Zink Call's Mallards Gone Wild cd it really helped me.
Good luck and if you have any questions shoot me a PM I consider myself a pretty good waterfowler and hunt almost every day killin hundereds in a season 8)
