wundurin what u have lerdnd and some pointers for the field!!!

hAHAHA!! YEA.. RIGHTTT!

And the keep wind at your back, or coming left to right/right to left so the ducks decoy into you and not over your head.

Bring poop paper! Once you've got this down, your ahead of the game

Diarrhea & waders do not mix

You guys need to watch how you say things. This is a new, young female hunter looking to learn some things.

Hmmm didn't realize that

Good advise!

accept the fact that you will likely fall in the water at some point. walking in waders is a learned skill... and there is always an unknown hole or stump. walk slowly and pick up your feet. paitence is important too. be sure to mark your birds when you hit them. although wounded, a downed bird can swim pretty quick! enjoy the sport and welcome to it. good luck

Good catch TDK.

Which brings me to my next point, know who you are hunting with and know what is and isnt appropriate.

Let that be a lesson for all of you

lmao

Bring extra pants, shirt and a towel....help keep you warm if you do get wet.

thank you!!!! i new i shoulda said something after her post but got busy cooking dinner!!

she is my 12 yr old daughter and really wanting to learn!!! looking for other kids as friends to talk and what ever!!

we went to dove camp and had to remind some of the hunters to keep it as clean as possible!! you know how conversations go while at hunting camp sitting around a fire drinking!!! but we were all friends so wasnt to bad!!


anyway back to the show............

without a doubt, bring extra clothes. I tend to lean towards the "you WILL get wet" crowd with my daughter.

Good luck this year

Puddle ducks cant feed in water much deeper than a foot.


Rig your decoys with twice as much line as the depth your hunting.

Dont stare at ducks that are working you.

You need a roof to hunt Mallards.

Learn to call on a single reed.

I wouldnt say you would HAVE to have a roof, I don't use one and I've been killing mallards at the same spot since I was your age. It would help though. Also, It is a lot easier to learn using a double reed call. Just to make it easier for a new hunter. You can also get some instructional DVD's so that you can listen and learn to call. Good luck out there!

Watch and learn, learn to follow through on your shot, clean up after yourself, and probably most important, learn to talk smack when someone else misses, falls, or anyting else you don't want to happen to ya!

Wake up on time and go to bed early.

For the love of Pete do not whine about the weather once you get out of the truck to go hunting I promise the weather is not any better for the hunter 2' away from you either

Tell you Dad you're serious about this sport and need a "B" gun. (Benelli, Beretta, and Browning)

Welcome to the sport -- My son has introduced me to a number of young ladies that love duck hunting--- suggest as follows:
(1) Use a wading staff if the bottom is questionable
(2) Call very little as you learn
(3) Get a whistle it's easier than a call and can work depending on the type ducks in your area
(4) Buy the best shells you can afford
(5) Be patient for the birds to work in close --This is the hardest part -- knowing when they are as close as they're going to get-- don't kick yourself if you pass the shot and they leave the law of averages will favor the patient hunter

Lots of good hunting advice. How about some safety...

Use a wading staff if it's below freezing. It's just not worth freezing to death. I almost went face down last year in calf deep water (submerged root) and I have excellent balance. My staff saved me. It was 7 degrees.

Always were a life jacket in the boat. You can't swim if your knocked out or have the wind knocked out of you by something you hit on the way in.

The more you move in cold water, the faster hypothermia sets in.

While waders and wetsuits may be made out of the same material. Waders fit too loosely to provide insulation in the water.

If your waders are full, remember you'll probably have to crawl out on shore. Water weighs 8.4lbs per gallon. Depending on how loose your waders are, you may suddenly be 30-50lbs heavier.

Watch the sunrise. Be safe and have fun.
