Guest Getemup Posted December 22, 2006 Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 Re: rain yes they like bad weather, mostly mallards and teal and just a little fog and that rain taht is small and it is so light. That kind of stuff, but woodies like warm weather like 45 degrees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogdoc Posted December 22, 2006 Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 Re: rain one of my best days was in a light rain/foggy day. Most of the pond was frozen except for a small area. I put out like 6 decoys with one of the decoys on a pull string. I'd give that string a little move to make motion and some light calling and the ducks just kept dropping in. Had a limit in about 1 hour. I don't like hunting real heavy rains but light rains are great for duck hunting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randy Posted December 22, 2006 Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 Re: rain Where I hunt in Wisconsin I prefer sunny days. By me the Mallards go out to feed in the dry cornfields. If I hunt the marsh instead of the cornfields I have to wait for the Mallards to come back to the water. If it rains the ducks can get enough water to drink right in the field and they might stay out alot longer. If it is dry and sunny, they have to come to water to drink. Most of the time they are coming back to water a couple hours after legal shooting hours in the morning. If you are hunting a feeding area, the rain won't hurt you as bad, other than they may spot you easier because there are no shadows for you to hide in, and the sun isn't in their eyes. I know of a lot of people than enjoy hunting in the rain, maybe I'm just getting too old?!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duckslayer Posted February 1, 2007 Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 Re: rain yes ducks love bad weather (the opposite of what i like) and it really doesn't matter whether the rain is light or heavy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
