Any body duck hunt today

[Song Dog]

Quite a few duks around for this time of year compared to the last 3 years;
saw some buffy's, wideons and blue bills plus a few woodies are still here.

Even more crows flying high

2 mallards and 4 teals. (not too good considering the number we saw)

Lots of very early flyers, pretty much all dried up by 9am.

I can't Duck hunt. I'm not that fast. I need Geese that fly slow.

Ewweeeeee. Can't wait now! We just walked a new spot this afternoon.

Opening day last year was the best day we had all season.

For goose hunting do I need decoys?

yeah unless you are on the X. Spray painted milk jugs work sometimes or halves of tires. Also plywood silhouettes.

I agree. This year has been very poor even hearing a Goose or seeing a Duck. Last year they were everywhere.

Goose Decoys do help, but, not required if you can their attention with a good call. I can bring them in and bring them back just with some light moderate calling with my mouth call. Saturday the 16th is the start of our regular late season here and I'm praying hard at this point that I even get hear one or see one fly by. I bought two sets of these and have collected some others over the past few years. I don't find I need alot of decoys at the farm, but, the 12 shells do more than enough to get the Geese in there and I have used as few as one set of 6 to do the job. I bought mine HERE I did have to dumb the down with some flat spray paint. They are too glossy out of the box.

pics look great have camoed both my boats and had some success but my hunting buddy moved about 4 years ago and its been rough ( tender moment ) we hunted or fished almost every weekend he's a good guy but now lives in new mexico and i am in md.

I'd be glad to hunt with you if you are in the Frederick area. The monocacy nrm area has birds you just need to scout the river and stay inside the boundaries.

Also Heaters Island WMA is a good option.

Maryland doesn't have any fences you can't cross...

Haven't in a few years, miss it. Good luck!

Had a few close fly overs, only got one black duck to commit. Had it been goose season we could have limited out in 45 minutes. Hunted both the morning and evening. Evening just after we couldn't shoot anymore, we had at least 30 fly over.

Well sir, most Saturdays I hunt alone. But if you and your son want to come
Try your luck with some green heads you are more then welcome.

Assembling 3.5 dozen full bodies tonight so we are ready for Saturday, ought to be fun.

Not a fan of water fowl hunting (I'm a fair weather type of guy )but have been quite a few times over the yrs. (average 2-3 days a season).Back OT,1 thing I saw yrs. ago on a hunt and occasionally on T.V. was "flags".Is that a last resort technique or a proven method for geese?

Proven. Sean Mann (very successful Eastern Shore guide) claims he uses a flag every hunt.
