Summary: One of the keys to successful waterfowl hunting is hunting the right spot at the right time. This can become easier to do if you keep detailed and accurate records of the time you spend in the field so you can establish waterfowl patterns and tendencies.
Ducks and geese react to approaching weather fronts, local weather conditions, wind speed and direction, temperature, and hunting pressure in a predictable manner. Therefore, we recommend you keep track of the following information.
By saving and recording this information, you'll be able to look back on your records and compare tendencies and establish patterns the waterfowl you are hunting use under similar conditions. Ultimately, it will show you where the best spot to hunt in any given situation is based on your own hunting information.
