Anyone hunt ducks over a cut hay field? If I set up my dekes early and call a lot to get the attention of passing ducks, what are my chances they'll decoy in? Guess a lot depends on what else is around me right?
I dont know... we have a rye feild with a sump right next to it. We have seen about 200 ducks go into and outa that sump this year. We have done every friggen call u can think of and none of them even turned teir heads. The only time we have done good in a feild is when we are sittin there, nothin in the sky and out of no where... QUACK! were like wtf. we look up and like 50-100 mallards are right over our heads like 100 feet up. We give em like 2 quacks and they go straight down in the middle of our rig and we got up and hammered the .... outa em. We got like 5 or 6 birds.
Its cool when they have their feet out and they drop straight down.
I know a lot of guys don't like 'em, but for whatever reason....spinners are lethal in the field.
We hunt mallards over cut corn, hay, alfalfa, and what not. With a spinner or two in the field, sometimes we don't even have to call. Full body mallard decoys and a spinner.....leave your calls at home, but make sure you bring a lot of shells.
Another thing that might work if you have geese in the area that the ducks sit with is to put some of these decoys out. We use texas rags for duck a lot of the time and they seem to work well. Also white decoys stand out more than duck decoys. Good luck Andy
Here in michigan and in indiana the only fields we have been successful on ducks was corn, but if you find any kind of ag field with a "pond" in it you are on gold IMO.
