Suppose to be some rain on the coast on Wednesday. I have only duck hunted in the rain once but was wondering if any of you more experienced guys can tell me how bad my chances will dwindle if it does rain?

The only time I hunted like that was when a front moved through and it rained for about 30 minutes at stopped at around 9:00am. After that it seemed like the ducks got motivated to move. Ended up being pretty good after the storm passed.

Thanks

I've never hunted the coast but from my experience, they will still fly in a light mist/rain. Anything more than that and they hunker down until its over.

Cigarettes are like hamsters. Perfectly harmless til you put it in your mouth & light it on fire

X3 I would rather hunt a cold blue bird clear day with some wind than anything.
