If you hunt public land, you know there are more people hunting waterfowl than ever. The boat ramps resemble the parking lot at Walmart on black Friday. Most of these hunters are going to hunt until 9 AM or so and if they don’t have a limit, call it quits for the day. This activity will condition birds in your area to feed later and return to the marsh mid-morning to loaf and preen. These early morning hunters will miss out on these ready to decoy mid-morning greenheads.
Here are a few tips and tricks for a Mid-Morning bounty of Green.
If you sleep in on a Saturday, don’t feel like you can’t kill any mallards since you missed the early flight. Get up and on your way and you will be meeting all the other hunters on their way home from the marsh. Now you can get your spot with little or no competition. As I said earlier, the action maybe a little slower, but the ducks will normally do right and stick out those big, beautiful orange feet and make you smile from ear to ear.
Try these tips the next time you get a late start or the early morning flight didn’t fill your strap and see if they don’t work for you.
