Marsh or Timber
For duck hunting what do you guys prefer...marsh or timber?
|
I hunt timber for woodies
|
I love marsh hunting, I've never been on a timber hunt though.
|
i'd trade a wood duck hunt in timber for a marsh hunt !!!
|
for sure flooded timber or open water.... only made a few marsh hunts on public property and that is way to much work walking through that stuff
|
We go to Shell Island opening weekend every year, you're more than welcome to come along. Usually leave Friday afternoon and come back Sunday. Other than that, we make day trips out there a few times a year and I tag along with friends the rest of the season. I don't have a lease or property so I gotta go with other people but I can probably line something up.
|
Two completely different experiences....I like them both cause either way i'm duck hunting so i'm happy
|
lets see..gunna try the actual timber hunting this year...(hope its not private land where i want to hunt...) going to be hunting ponds/creeks in timber on my deer lease...hunted marsh last year alots of ducks, the walk doesn't bother me.
i prefer timber area though..hard ground,easier to walk :) |

bellpepperhead,do you hunt the timber area in north la,or around where you live? Let me know and maybe we can switch a hunt out....have a camp and farm in klondike la..good speck hunting but ducks where slow last year... I have always wanted to hunt the timber!!!!give me a shout
|
doford, you go deer hunting often? I've never been on a goose hunt and have always wanted to, I would be interested in swapping a deer hunt for a goose hunt if you're interested.
|
i'd be interested in swapping a duck hunt on a creek for a deer/duck/hog hunt anywhere else i'll do a 3to1 hunt... 3 hunts from me for 1 hunt from anyone else..
|
Same here, I can promise a deer/hog hunt swap for a duck hunt. Jfranovich, let me know if you are interested. I hunt in a lease in Franklinton, La. We have some nice decent deer and kill a few hogs every now and then.
|
shoot me a PM... its a guaranteed limit on woodies here where i hunt, its only 2, but its fun, bring no calls... just gun and shells !!!

thought they changed the limit to 3? yup i just walk clean across the mud in swamp/marsh, rather timber/creeks since i drive my fourwheeler to da spot,and i can wade the whole pond without sinking |

Marsh
Marsh without a doubt. I have hunted timber before and enjoyed it, but something about sitting in the marsh is just a lot more enjoyable for myself. In my few hunts in the timber, it seemed as though we shot very few "trash" ducks. One advantage to the timber. But I love the mudboat rides and watching the greys cupped up and sailing into the decoys, so the marsh is where I call my home.
