My Dad, brother and I have been hunting my Dad's place which is a fly way for Mallards. I think I've figured out why they aren't coming in and I'm embarrased to say that I think it's because I'm calling too much. Anyway, I was wondering if ducks make any noise before first light? These ducks are coming over like 5-10 minutes before shooting light and they'll check out the dekes and leave. I'm thinking that me calling is making them uneasy.

I'd love to have them land before light and then jump em' when it gets light enough to shoot. Isn't that the best????
