Title: Evening Hunting????
Post by: LittleJohn on December 17, 2009, 03:42:32 PM

Just wondering about hunting the evening. I have never tried it. I usually hunt till noon or so and call it a day. I am always spooking lots of birds off the water in the dark when I show up in the am to set my spread. I work 2am - 12pm,so I have lots of evening time to hunt. Just wondering if I would have any success hunting the evenings???  Thanks Guys.

Yesterday we bagged 17 mallards and one pintail drake in the PM.  nailed that pintail at 4:06PM.  A week ago Friday we got 21 mallards in the PM.  Same field both times.

I perfer the morning vice the evening, but thats just my personal preference. I dont think either is better or worse than the other.  :twocents:  But definately worth a try.

I dont do it as often, but in college we'd slay the green heads in the evening, latter in the season.

I do very good in the evenning hunts.  If you only have select days, pick those that are nasty out.  They will be coming off the big water early.
