Stop And WatchMany times before we take to the field, we always try to scout the field or the body of water we are planning on hunting the day before we hunt. We watch for the number of ducks or geese in the location, the species, the size of the flocks that are present, the direction they come in from, the time they come in, and finally the weather. While scouting and watching the birds, we like to take notes that will help us decide the number of decoys to use, what specific location we'll be setting up in, and how to set our decoy spread. During this observation, we will also listen to the sounds the birds on the ground are making as they feed or loaf as well as the sounds they are making as they approach from the air. Listening to the birds as they call will gives us a great advantage when we take the field because we will be able to mimic what the birds have been doing naturally. This simple process has rewarded us handsomely in the past and we're sure that it will do the same for you. |
 Testimonials "Thank you! This was my first duck season and thnks to your online audio lessons I was able to call Mallards to my dekes and knock them out of the sky! Much appreciated!" "I have been waterfowl hunting since I was 13. It's a sickness, which i'm not trying very hard to cure. I found your site just a month, or so, ago, and am enjoying it very much. I hope you keep up the great articles and videos, and update the site as often as possible. I've read, and re-read every page on here, and like I said, I'm loving what you have here!" "Have to first say that I am amazed by your website. Lots of REAL and PRACTICAL stuff. I watched the videos on painting the drake mallard and it definitely was worth joining!" "The info you guys have built up on here is priceless. I got hooked on ducks and geese two years ago and don't know a whole lot about hunting techniques or strategies. This year I have had limited hunting outings as I'm in the military and been deployed allot, but using some of your suggestions, I have already seen improvements to my kill #'s." |
