Scouting South Zone

[Batsto]

Seeing some Wood Ducks back in the pines, but not many other puddle ducks. Looks like the rain is going north. It's dry! Couple of my buds scouting

So far the ducks have been few and far in between, at least at the lakes I ventured to. Going out Saturday morning and hoping the wind won't be too bad

OK, since it was brought up How do you scout for ducks? Probably a stupid question, but I've never been duck hunting but would like to (I've only been goose hunting on cut farm fields, and only a couple years at that).

 

What do you look for? You could be at a honey hole but the ducks just ain't there yet. How would you know? What are some of the things you look for?

 

I'm asking more about inland (southern region) rather than coastal hunting.

down in the pines they usualllyrics fly into old abandon bogs in tight corners if you find islands or narrow spots on water.rarely have I ever seen ducks in open water except early morning when they leave out of the woods they'll fly over big water...you'll also see feather along waters edge or duck shit on logs and tree limbs in the water.

look at quad maps or Google images there's alot of old bogs and creeks all thru the pines.
