Marsh or Timber
 
For duck hunting what do you guys prefer...marsh or timber?

I hunt timber for woodies

longsidelandry 07-22-2009 09:49 AM

I love marsh hunting, I've never been on a timber hunt though.

Jordan 07-22-2009 09:55 AM

i'd trade a wood duck hunt in timber for a marsh hunt !!!

adamsfence 07-22-2009 09:58 AM

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

longsidelandry 07-22-2009 10:18 AM

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.

Jordan 07-22-2009 10:21 AM

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..

longsidelandry 07-22-2009 10:24 AM

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.

Jordan 07-22-2009 10:29 AM

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.
