What do you use to knock'em down???

AmericanWigeon — Sat, 30 May 2009 16:01:04 GMT

What combo of gun, choke & ammo do you like the best for ducks & geese????

I use a Benelli SBE2 with a Kicks High Flyer "mod" choke for ducks & geese and any range. I don't shoot anything past 40 yards.

I prefer Federal Premium ultra-shok steel 3.5" 1 3/8 oz BB's for geese, and the same load in #2's for ducks. If I can't get these shells I will use kent fasteel in the same loads.

Cibola NWR Youth Waterfowl Hunt Dec 2009

spectr17 — Fri, 25 Dec 2009 11:52:59 GMT

This waterfowl hunt was the 3rd annual to help young hunters learn how to hunt ducks and geese. Ducks Unlimited, CWA (California Waterfowl Association), Sprague's Sporting Goods, the Yuma Valley Rod & Gun Club, and many other sponsors donated gear for the young hunters. Older goose hunters volunteered as mentors to teach and call for the kids also. Huge thanks to all who helped make this a huge success.

Camcorder was a Canon GL-2

Slow day, but worth it!!!!!

AmericanWigeon — Sun, 29 Nov 2009 15:04:49 GMT

Spent the morning hunting w/ my son. It was very slow, but had its high points.

1st..........spending time with my boy, watching him take in all the outdoors has to offer is the best thing I could do.

2nd........Watching my boy work on his duck/goose calling........really cool!!!!!

3rd........Shooting a duck that I've never shot before..........never even seen in PA......while my son was with me..........wow....sweet!

Man I can't wait till he's 12 & can start waterfowl hunting!!!!!

South Florida Duck Hunting

jpg2esq — Wed, 17 Dec 2008 09:38:24 GMT

We may not have timber or greenheads down here in South Florida, but it can sure be fun hunting in short sleeves and shorts sometimes. Took a rookie camera guy with me a few weeks ago and put together this video on the mac using imovie.

October getaway

rjbadfish — Sun, 18 Oct 2009 13:14:47 GMT

Needed to getaway for a few days. With a recent cold snap the geese were on the move. Duck action was slow this week but the geese were all over the place.

Decoy spread

gressr — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 14:53:00 GMT

What sort of spread does everyone like to use in the early part of the duck season. For me it is about 1 to 2 dozen decoys spread out into small groups. I Put 2 or 3 decoys infront of the blind with a mojo so it imitates birds that have just landed.

utahduckhunter — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 14:09:34 GMT

Hen Mallards

PcatMagoo — Tue, 18 Aug 2009 21:16:39 GMT

I've been watching Whispering Wings episodes for the past several weeks and it just disgusts me to see how many hen mallards they shoot on a weekly basis. Where I come from the only hen mallards that are shot are mistakes. Most of the really offensive shows have been filmed in Canada where the limit on hens is much more liberal. But to me there is no excuse for not picking out the drakes or at least attempting to do so. Each hen shot results in many more birds never being hatched. The most disturbing thing about it is these birds are being shot by and with professional guides. I would think they if any would understand the importance of shooting drakes and letting the hens fly.

I'll hold off until another day about the sky busting ive seen by these so called "professionals". I'm sure all those cripples wasting away in the marsh are easy to forget when your unloading a box of shells a day and getting some Doctor and his buddies to pay you big bucks to take them with you.

Whats on your lanyard?????

AmericanWigeon — Sat, 30 May 2009 15:51:28 GMT

I was wondering what everyone has hanging on your lanyards???

For me its a Buck Gardner buck brush, spitfire, SS1 & canada hammer. I have some new ones on order. I'll tell you about then when they come in.

I also have 4 duck bands, 2 goose bands, 1 pigeon band & and dog whistle. All hanging on a Heavy Hauler "limit supream" lanyard.

Mossberg 535

patstp — Fri, 29 May 2009 06:40:22 GMT

Hi,

I'm planning to buy a Mossberg 535 (item#45600) and i was wondering if it is a good choice for waterfowl hunting. This is my first shotgun ever...i've seen it at 350$ here in eastern Canada and it's right in my price range.

Any comment is welcome !

Pat.

Goose season winding down

MallardManiac — Mon, 12 Jan 2009 15:15:08 GMT

We ended the year with a 6 man limit. Had to wait on my Dad to do it. He had to leave for a little bit. When he left we had 3 on the ground. When he got back we had 10. While he was gone we all saw something that we hadn't seen before. We had a barnyard cross come in with a flock. Ryan ended up dropping it. We could've shot a few greenheads to. They were a little harder to get good pics of.

Duck Goose Hunting

agizmo53 — Sun, 11 Jan 2009 12:23:46 GMT

I'm trying to expand some of the waterfowl hunting, that I've taken up for the second year. I've primarily hunted over water, but now that the lakes are freezing, I would like to try land, but not sure what type of set up. I hunt the southern part of Kansas, and would be willing to try other areas, or maybe join in a hunt if you're into a novice waterfowler hunter. I have hunted all my life but have just takenup waterfowl hunting. I don't have alot of gear for waterfowl, I did pickup a dozen mallard decoys. I would appreciate any and all assistance.

ice already???

hunt12ga — Tue, 09 Dec 2008 18:19:27 GMT

I haven't quite gotten into duck mode yet since my deer tags aren't all filled. But much to my dismay, the water I usually hunt in is frozen up already! I'm in mid-southern Illinois, and this is the first time I can ever remember that much ice this early. I guess I'll just have to hope for some more rain (getting it now) to get the bottoms out. Then the waders will emerge from the closet...

good luck to all ya!

One duck hunts.

PublicHunter — Sun, 07 Dec 2008 08:59:10 GMT

One pintail, one black duck, one mottled duck, one canvasback, or whatever depending on where you live. It's a different type of hunt and one a lot of waterfowlers won't bother with. It's about waiting for one shot when there aren't many ducks around, or late in the season when they've been thoroughly educated. An extra or two, or even a limit wouldn't ruin the hunt should the chance present itself, but it's not the focus of the hunt. It's about that one duck and that one shot.
