how does wind affect ducks? - Duck Hunting Forum
Nov 22, 2008 · Wind over 20 mph ducks will sit still. Ducks will land into wind true to a degree, but fly with wind upon morning flight. So when you set up remember, wind at your back they will be at your back first most often before they turn to come in for a landing.
20 Gauge Loads - Duck Hunting Forum
Oct 20, 2023 · If you keep your shots under 30 yards you should be golden with just about any steel 4 or 3 shot on the market. Steel 3s are a better all around shot size for big ducks in my opinion. Out to 40 yards I'd say steel 3 shot maybe even 2s for big ducks later in the season. Honestly I don't like steel 4s for big ducks and find 3s to be a better option.
Best and worse ducks to eat? - Duck Hunting Forum
Oct 4, 2011 · Ive pulled 7-8 water oak acorns out of the neck of woodies in Louisiana. Then puddles of different sorts. Ducks that hit grain fields are probaly the cream of the crop. Whoever said buffleheads are terrible are absolutely correct as far as I am concerned. Ducks like Dos Gris(bluebills, Scaupe) are strong but in a good gumbo mellow out.

BB for ducks? - Duck Hunting Forum
Jul 15, 2015 · I've shot thousands of ducks with 1 3/8 oz BB loads. Caveat: anything less than 1 3/8 oz for Ducks will leave you short in the pellet count department, and you need 90+% 40 yard patterns for the load to be effective on ducks. Sure, the holes you rip in em will be bigger, but then there'll also be less of em. For fat mallards, it's a good load.

Nov 3, 2008 · For them ducks are the most important thing Sep-Jan, but god forbid they do anything after the season. Writing a check is fine if they can win something, but try to get them to give up a Saturday to help improve habitat, they would shoot their wife to get out of that.
28 Gauge for Ducks | Duck Hunting Forum
Dec 30, 2013 · #5 bismuth would be fine for close work. I load up #6 ITX for ducks and #7 HW18 when I expect a mix of ducks/geese. I have a Remington 870 with the factory fixed modified choke. The key is to pick and choose your shots carefully. Just two weeks ago, my son got his hunter's license and this is his gun for the next few years.

Pluck or Breast Clean Ducks? - Duck Hunting Forum
Jan 5, 2011 · For pheasant I skin it making it look like a chicken you buy at the store pre-cooked and then cut the breasts off, and whatever else is on the bone. But to start you breast it, peel the skin all the way down then go from there. Much easier then plucking and you might lose 10%. Pheasants are much larger then ducks though so its a bit more worth it.
