Don't give up Hunter. Waterfowling done right is an art and takes time to learn and with every new area or species one goes for there is more to learn. I was lucky to have a good mentor. He never came out an told you how to do it but would come by my hide and make little comment when we'd b.s. during a lull in the action. Kinda like in the movie,"didn't put enough dirt down,saw it right off".
In three years or so you will start to get a handle on it. Keep at it ,it'll get better believe me.
