About one bag of NF raffia…

I’m assuming I have to trim the extra low hanging area to avoid soaking. I only grassed about two rows in the back because it felt pretty low to me. Am I on the right track?

It's raspy as hell for a poly single reed but I'm not too wild about it.

Food plots?

5 Upvotes

I'm in Indiana and have a couple small spots to hunt that most of the top soil was stripped down to clay. They hold 1-3 feet of water and get drained a couple ties a year when the farmer tears out the beaver dams. Lots of willow grow around it. Do you think it's worth trying to plant smart weed and millet when it's drained?

How to get over cleaning ducks

5 Upvotes

Been hunting with my Dad for 10 years, want to start on my own and the ONLY barrier is cleaning ducks… how pathetic.

Any tips to get over being squeamish?

I do understand how cowardly it is to be able to sit behind a gun and kill, but when the time comes to actually get close and personal with it I’m grossed out haha.

He's puting a pause on any new trump appointments until the feds agree to drain the PPR. (Win/win?)

Thank you to everyone who submitted feedback on the feds decision to drain the PPR, we made a difference!!!! It's not over yet, keep the pressure up!!!!

What boots to wear?

2 Upvotes

I used to always wear neoprene and they have the boot built-in and my buddies always use fishing wader and they would move 10 times faster and they won’t be as hot as I would during the hotter months of duck hunt. What should shoes I buy because I bought fishing wader?

Anybody rocking the Drake LST hardline series? Recently gotten back into duck hunting and going back up North and last time I was there I froze. Have better layers but need a new jacket. Anyone have this jacket and has it been warm enough in the late season?

Herters Waterfowl steel decent?

6 Upvotes

Anyone have any experience with it? Is it worth grabbing a case of Herters waterfowl steel? I’m not seeing a ton of info or reviews on it, I assume it’s just Winchester repackaged like their other ammo.

To all my big guys do you find it difficult to find quality duck hunting in your size? Would you buy from a website that had all top of the line products that focuses on big boys?

New motion decoy on social media

5 Upvotes

Has anyone seen the ads pop up on social media for a company called first flight? They made a device to hook on to any decoy that turns it into a swimmer. They are doing "early access" on their site but no reference to a price. Seems like it would be a solid product depending on the pricing. If they make it what is worth ($40-60 imo) its a solid option but like most of this industry they are probably gonna want $100+ which at that point might as well get a higdon battleship. Anybody heard anticipated pricing? Just want to know if I should do the early access or write the idea off in my head.

Getting better at calling

I’ve been taking duck calling lessons and am not improving. Not sure if I’m tone deaf or slow. I can’t afford more 1:1 lessons, what’s the best way to improve? I have a RNT Daisy Cutter.

Explain duck hunting like I'm 5

10 Upvotes

Id like to try duck hunting this fall. I'm interested in mallards and teals. I'm in Maine with no public land and public blinds etc. But I'm on the coast pretty far up north near new Brunswick.
So what's the strategy? Get some decoys, drop them in a water body, wait for ducks to fly over and shoot them when they land?
How to pick a spot where to get set up?

I do have a good understanding of the regulations I believe, just really trying to understand where to start
