Hogman,
Which of those above named lakes have ducks on them right now and where exactly are the public access points? I'm not new to public waterfowl hunting, I'm just lazy. I should mention that I'll be going there right at legal shooting time and setting up a good 100yds away from the guy with the biggest spread of decoys so that hopefully my bad calling will pull some ducks off and over to me so I can skybust them with Xperts. Please
PM me the complete list and include information on what type and how many ducks you're seeing out there. That way I won't tell anybody where the honey holes are. Thanks!
P.S. I almost included my sob-story of why I can't scout and hunt very often, but that's okay, I'm just going to expect you to give me everything up front.
HAHA, I do not set up close to people; I know my calling is bad, and I do not want to ruin the experience for the other hunters. I do want to be close enough to hear their calls so I can learn from them and try to mimic their good calling. YouTube is good but it doe snot show real world and what is truly working.
As far as sky busting, I do not take shots just to shoot, and if the bird is our of reach I won't take the shot. Over the past two days I waited until they were coming in to try to lad before I shot. Although the last one flew in right after I retrieved the other duck, and saw me and never came in for the landing, when he turned I knew it was at my max range but I took the shot anyway, luckily it winged him enough to have him fall and then I was able to finish him off with one more shot.
Also I was only asking for basic information, as if it's even worth scouting yet or should I concentrate scouting efforts in another area. Not looking for a detailed map of honey holes, figuring that out is part of the fun. But like I said I will stick to basic questions about duck hunting in general and not about lakes. I learned my lesson.
But keep the licks coming if you want I can take it!
