i fno one you hunt with duck hunts then this is what i would do(and what i did at one time). i had permission to hunt private land. at the begining of the sdeason i went and scouted all of the ponds to see which ones had birds on them.then when i wanted to hunt isatbeside the pool(in some brushy area) and waited for the birds to come in. just take a fishing pole with you and a top water lure and you can retrive them that way. or find someone who duck hunts.
