time, work, etc.... this year i'll give it a few tries. do you have just as much success as a traditional morning hunt? that should have been my question.
I don't think the mornings can be beat, but here and I am not sure of the laws elseware we can shoot 1/2 hr. before sunrise until sunset. I have often wondered why can't we get that last additional 1/2 hr in the evening because the birds seem to fly best in the evening during that last 1/2 hr.But all in all we do OK in the evenings.
Heres my take on it, Ive done better in the evenings then the morning SOMETIMES Mostly Morning is best though. Ive shot a lot of puddleduck on the marsh in the evening because theyre lookin for a place to settle.But it beats sittin at home twittleing your thumbs
I have hunted the evenings before and have been succesful. I found that it really does pick up till the last 1\2 hour and a lot of the time it's pass shooting but still set upthe decoys cause I have had ducks still decoy.
At the lake I hunt evenings can be fairly good. most of the other hunters are out in the morning, bangin' away till noon or so. after that they all go home and everything quiets down. makes the birds alot less spooky.
Hunt over decoys in the morning, jump some ducks mid-day, bowhunt deer in the evenings. I've had mixed success in the evening for ducks, but i think the above schedule works best for me and my area. Western South Dakota.
do you duck hunt in the evening?
