Quitting time
My buddy likes to stop hunting at his place at 8AM to let them rest.
Does anyone else subscribe to this theory? It's his place so I abide by his wishes limit or no limit but I think that he is being over cautious. There are lots of gray ducks and pintails that fly by his blind from 9-11 AM. I would have no problem quitting by 11 or even 10 but 8 seems too early to me. |

Sorry but that is stupid. Your hunting migratory bird. They're not going to be here long, shoot them while you can.

you can ask micha and salteredneck on here that 2 years ago i was hunting til noon, cause them bastards flew like crazy from 11:30 to about 12 and get my limit almost every time.

Time
In the opinion of an old hunter of rice fields, myself, I think you're safe with noon. The ducks on a normal day come in at night to eat. The WORST time to hunt is late afternoon if you don't want to screw up your place. Let the other places hunt; they'll push em to you. Happened to me many times. ;)

I have no problem waiting til 10 on a slow day...by then I'm too hungry...them birds will fly midday
|
Yeah 10 or 11 no problem. I've hunted till noon before
|
Not unusual for me to get out the duck blind at 9 or 10 then hunt geese on another field till 1. I find the geese work bettere then anyway.
|
I find the birds in the marshes we hunt work far better late in the morning about 9-noon. Especially on a sunny day.

If it is just one blind in the area it wouldn't hurt but not everyday. We hunt 6 blinds in our marsh every day so we stop hunting at 9:30. Too much pressure you wont hold any birds so they wont come to rest there. We hold a lot of birds so more keep coming. You can go back out after lunch to fix up the blind and ducks will be every where.
