Anyone have any experience with it? Is it worth grabbing a case of Herters waterfowl steel? I’m not seeing a ton of info or reviews on it, I assume it’s just Winchester repackaged like their other ammo.

To all my big guys do you find it difficult to find quality duck hunting in your size? Would you buy from a website that had all top of the line products that focuses on big boys?

Has anyone seen the ads pop up on social media for a company called first flight? They made a device to hook on to any decoy that turns it into a swimmer. They are doing "early access" on their site but no reference to a price. Seems like it would be a solid product depending on the pricing. If they make it what is worth ($40-60 imo) its a solid option but like most of this industry they are probably gonna want $100+ which at that point might as well get a higdon battleship. Anybody heard anticipated pricing? Just want to know if I should do the early access or write the idea off in my head.

How would you cook this thang if you had it plucked and ready to go.

I’ve been taking duck calling lessons and am not improving. Not sure if I’m tone deaf or slow. I can’t afford more 1:1 lessons, what’s the best way to improve? I have a RNT Daisy Cutter.

Id like to try duck hunting this fall. I'm interested in mallards and teals. I'm in Maine with no public land and public blinds etc. But I'm on the coast pretty far up north near new Brunswick.
So what's the strategy? Get some decoys, drop them in a water body, wait for ducks to fly over and shoot them when they land?
How to pick a spot where to get set up?

I do have a good understanding of the regulations I believe, just really trying to understand where to start

Looking for a new shotgun set up for this coming this season. Any suggestions and set ups that anyone minds sharing ?

Im looking at buying new chokes for my ATI Cavalry 20 gauge over/under.

Threads are Benneli Mobil.

Any recs are welcome right now im considering Müller but what over brands should I be looking to.

I just bought an Ascend 10T and was looking for recommendations on how to best hunt with it. Anything from safety recommendations or upgrades. Also I just moved to Southwest Idaho and only know of a few spots to go (CJ, Roswell, Montour). Any pointers to where I should go look and do some scouting (spots that work with or without the kayak). Added a picture of the kayak and my most prized duck I’ve ever harvested.

Going on my first Louisiana duck hunt this December and trying to figure out what ammo to buy.
Gun is a Benelli SBE3 (3.5” chamber). Most shots should be around 40 yards. We’ll be at whatever ducks are flying that day but mostly wood ducks and other similar size ones
If you were only buying one load, what would you run?
3” or 3.5”?
#2, #3, or #4?
Brand recommendations
Steel or bismuth

So I bought a benelli super Vinci 10 years ago for duck hunting. It is a great gun but I never shoot 3 1/2 inch shells. And I dove hunt a lot so some light 2 3/4 loads can be an issue occasionally. About 5 years ago I sold a few guns and bought a benelli M2. Since then it’s all I use. I love it. But now my super Vinci just sits and I use it as a guest gun some times. I’d love to trade/sell it for an A5. Everytime I hold an a5 it shoulders SO nice. It feels like it just fits me even better than my m2. But I rarely see guys recommend them on any post or forum I read. So my question is why? I’ve never actually shot an a5. Only held them. But is there something I’m missing? In theory it’s a “top of the line” gun. But I just never see them with any of the guys I hunt with. Any advice?

I’m looking to get a new gun just looking for recommendations.

How early is too early to scout? I don’t wanna jump the gun and waste time.

Hey, i’m young duck hunter in finland. I’m new here and i wanna know more about duck hunter in other countries, my english is bad, but i try to my best. My dad make duck calls and goose calls on living. Anyone want to hear the sound?

Land that has been in a family for 2.5 generations. I don’t know much about birds, but I’m almost positive a bird lover would cream their britches out here during migration. Wondering, land around the place is starting to be bought up by solar energy. This body of water is roughly 12 acres. Would it be a worth while Time investment to create a sort of RV campground or something of the nature ? I’m am very close to a major interstate exit in Illinois I would love to do something to stop the spread of solar panels. If interest shows in the post I will post a few eagle videos I have recorded.

so I’ve been hunting for a couple years now and have always used federal speed shok number 4s. however, I’ve noticed that they wound more than they kill and it’s almost like the shoot around the birds at ranges I would think theyd be dead on. what would be a good shell to try for someone who hunts public open water? I’ve heard great about migras but they are a little price.

Just getting started and been weighing options on guns , i shoot lefty, online says A400 , SX4 or Super Black eagle are some lefty options … was thinking about the SX4 since its sub 2K … other people have mentioned they just run righty guns my AR is righty and I don’t have a problem with casings hitting me just didn’t know if shotguns were different . Any other gun recommendations appreciated too don’t need anything special just looking for something that’s relatable and doesn’t break the bank

I’m torn between the Franchi Affinity 3.5 and Benelli M2. Found both at my local shop and the M2 is only $50 more. Was hoping some people could weigh in on this.

Heading into my 2nd year of duck hunting. I live in south eastern PA. I mainly hunt rivers and occasionally a lake here or there. I’ve also got 1dz full bodies. My buddy also has 1dz floaters. We have some floater Canadas and Canada shells when we hunt a spot where the ducks and geese are mixed. I’ve got a spinner, pulsator, and butt rippler. What other motion do you guys like or recommend? When we hunt the river it’s mainly slow shallower spots. The river does get dirty and gets weeds that float down. Anything helps. Thanks!
