Default I want to duck hunt

I just bought some land by camp Edgewood. We explored the backside after a hard rain and like 200 ducks took off. Looked like a duck petting zoo.

Is it too late in season for setting blinds? Should I continue deer and hog hunting or switch to duck. I'm pretty green at the duck thing.

There was about 18" of water that stayed for about 3 days there's still duck in there but not as many.

It's definitely not too late. You don't need a blind in those woods. Just stand next to a tree. Go throw out a dozen decoys and give it a shot.

Could it be a fluke thing just from the flooded area?

What birds did you see get up ? That's perfect ground/conditions for woodys and mallards

Dang I didn't think about that. Is there a baiting law in ducks ? I'm sure there is , I may just stick with deer. The deer are thick too. I'll do the duck thing next year. My father in law just got this one out there. ImageUploadedByTapatalk1419403886.762432.jpg

Like I said. I'm pretty green but I'm thinking they were mallards.

Well if you think they were then that's what you seen more then likely because woodys are medium to small and mallards are large and can't miss a drake big greenhead ..woody drakes are exaggerated in color very colorful

I'd say its a grey area Matt with the deer feeder but best to call warden and ask before

It's something like you can't hunt until 30 days after the last piece of food is gone.

It's actually 14 days after all "bait" is removed. I would not chance it for this year. However, for future reference I'm sure alot of us would be happy to assist you with your duck hunting education and help you get rid of those "Pesky" ducks!!!
