RE: Waterfowl hunting without a dog?
I've never hunted with a dog
One thing I learned early on, no shooting doubles. One at a time and watch it til it hits the water! If it even twitches on the way down or in the water, shoot again!
You also need to shorten up the distance of shots. Hardest duck to find is one that makes it into the swamp grass.

RE: Waterfowl hunting without a dog?
I used to have a great hunting dog and loved to bird hunt. Unfortunately it died early in its lifeand the next dog my parents got wouldn't hunt. I had pretty much given up on duck hunting. We lost way to many birds in the tall cat tails.Now I am on my own and havemy own dog, birdhunting is back in my blood.With all thehard work and trainingi have put into my dog it is almostmore rewarding thenhunting big game. I personally wouldnt hunt ducks without a dog.
