OPEN WATER VS SLOUGHS

Postby cantfeedercall » Sat Dec 19, 2009 11:21 am

me and couple guys the other day were debating on where people should hunt on a given day.
The scenario was on a blue bird sky day with no wind where would you hunt? in an open water area and have a chance of seeing more ducks or smaller sloughs were ducks might feel less pressue.
you guys let me know what you think.

I am going to the bushes if the sun is out. With open water and no wind, they can land anywhere.

We only have a few timber holes to hunt so open water is no option, other than that we hunt the wind and move around as needed.
I ain't hunting, it's a tailgate party with shotguns.

If you know what you're talking about then why would you ask the question..

'Doesn't really matter when there's no ducks anywhere.......it just makes it more challenging to try to figure-out, "if I were a duck.....where would I go, today?"

I would try open water with binoculars......if you see birds traveling in a certain direction....obviously, follow'em.

Good luck.

No wind means unpredictability in my past experience. Big water and no wind means birds can land anywhere they like, and out of harms reach from whatever looks suspicious in your seemingly perfect blind. Timber on a bluebird day.
Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.
