Need advice on duck and goose hunting
Okay, I'm a deer hunter wanting to waterfowl hunt. I'll tell you what I have and you tell me if there is hope. I have 2 40 acre corn field 3/4 mile from open lake with 5000 or so Canadas, 1500-2000 of which were in my 2 40 acre fields this morning. I also have a 120 acre bean stubble field 300 yards from the lake. There is tons of foot prints in the snow and I saw probably 500 mallards tonight circling the lake. Now this is the bad part. I have 1 dozen mallard decoys and 25 2 liter and milk jugs painted primer grey with black tops. Decoys are on order. Is there any chance of luring them in without just pass shooting. I have an ultimag and I can kill them out to 40 yards. Pass shooting in past tells me this. Is there any other homemade contraption I can make temporarily. Thanks.
