A: If it’s within city limits, shooting a firearm would result in a ticket.
Q: How to teach a duck hunting dog not to hunt a duck?
We just got a three years old duck hunting dog to obviously hunt ducks with. However, we have two pet ducks. How do we make the dog not hunt those ducks specifically?
A: The dogs do not hunt or chase ducks. They are retrievers that are trained to retrieve the dead ducks that fall into the water. You will have to see how they react around your pet ducks. If they have an inclination to chase them, you will have to make sure they know it is not what you want them to do. Put the dogs on a leash around the ducks at first, so you can control them. If they try to chase the ducks, scold them and pull back on the leash. A retriever is a smart breed. They usually catch on quick.It is the nature of the breed to try and please you.Eventually they will understand the pet ducks are members of the household.Good luck!
Q: Duck hunting?
When the wind is blowing witch way should the decoys and mojo duck face ( with the wind, against the wind, or cross wind)
A: As the 1st answerer noted they will automatically drift into the wind unless double strung. The Mojo can face either direction as it will simulate landing or taking off.
Dont forget the alarm posture for ducks is for all to be heads up and facing the wind for a quick get-away. A contended feeding or resting flock has birds facing in all directions. To give this impression I rig about 1/3 of my set on the aft hole. The resulting variety of positions and head directions conveys contentment and I believe it helps with species recognition as well since circling birds get more view angles.
Q: What is the best breed for duck hunting? and what would be better between a lab and a golden and why?
I’m wanting to buy a hunting dog and cant decide what to get. It would be mostly duck hunting.
A: Are you hunting field or water? The Lab is usually a slightly better water dog, both are great in the field. If you’re not insistent on a purebred, http://www.petfinder.com/index.html has many mixes of the two (puppies to adult), which I have found to also be great in the field. Currently, I have 2 Goldens, both have proven to be good water dogs-one of them, I would actually call exceptional.
Q: What is duck hunting season in Pennsylvania?
Also, where can I get a guide that will tell me what game are allowed to be hunted in each season. I don’t know if anyone would know off the top of their head or not.
And one additional question… what is the fine for hunting small game out of season? Does it go per animal or what? Just curious. Really wanna get out duck hunting soon and if the fine is small enough, it maybe worth just paying it to go out for the day.
A: all we have left is
Feb 8-28 from roughly 6:30 am to 5:30 pm then again
March 1-7 from 7am – 6pm
then March 8-14 from 7am to 7pm
Go to gander mountain or where ever you got your license and ask for the “hunting and trapping digest.” It has the exact times and everything just to make sure you are within legal hunting hours and whatnot. Also, make sure you have your duck stamps! If you don’t, its a federal offense!
Q: How long till we start seeing pics of Hillary or Obama in camo going duck hunting?
Is it not about this time every election cycle that we see the Dems become pro-second admendment sending pics and telling storys about hunting. I find it funny that they think the second admendment is about duck hunting.
A: or sticking their ugly mugs out the top of a tank?
Q: What is the best ammo to use Duck hunting with a 12 gauge?
My dad has a 12 gauge that supports 2-3/4″ and 3″ rounds. Which is the best one to use duck hunting?
A: winchester Xpert 3 inch number 3s if you have a lot of pass shots and high flyers go with number 2s get the heaviest shot charge you can and MAX powder
Q: Will wearing any black head gear give away your position when duck hunting?
Got in an argument on what should be worn when duck hunting and I think I’ve seen plenty of people wear black hat’s or beanies while duck hunting…I didn’t think it would matter.
A: Ducks have very good eye sight for movement and detail. So if you are wearing a black hat with a background of snow they will see it.
I am just now getting back to duck hunting. But years ago I was out every weekend duck hunting. My brother and I tried experiments to see what would spook ducks. We found they can see your eyes while they are flying by at 60+ yards and any sudden movement as well. We never wore camouflage in the old days, just earth colors. And we shot our limit many times wearing blue jeans, blue or black ball cap and a green or brown shirt. However we stayed low in the blind and as they set their wings to land we avoided eye contact with them.
So I don’t think a black hat of any kind would spook them if you stay still. Think of it this way; you’re looking down for danger, what’s that black thing moving around? Most predators are brown, tan and black, a natural camouflage.
Q: Who knows about Duck hunting in Northeastern Alabama?
I grew up in Walnut Grove, I’ve fished and hunted all over there. I did’nt get into duck hunting until I moved to Indiana 10 years ago. My family still lives there, but they are not duck hunters. Where do I go?
A: I think that the best way to go about this is to go to a local hunting supplier and ask what a good spot is. you could all so look at a duck hunting outfitter and see where they take their clients and hunt their or hunt next to the spot. I also know that Alabama has some of the best duck hunting in the world in some areas so I would be hard to strike out. The last thing I could suggest is once you choose a area that you would be interested in pull it up on Google earth or map quest and look at the satellite image and choose the spot that looks best.
Q: What is a good, moderately-priced beginner’s duck hunting gun?
Just started duck hunting last season, but i want my own gun, where’s a good place to start?
A: Travis S has a good answer that I would append to. You may wish to buy the 870 Express magnum with a synthetic stock. This shoots 2 3/4 inch, 3 inch AND 3 1/2 inch shells. The 3 1/2 inch ones are better for longer ranges and geese so you have more flexibility than a standard Remington 870. The synthetic stock is nice in wet weather which seems to be the norm during duck seasons. These magnums do not cost but about $50 more.
Q: Are there any good duck hunting websites?
I’m looking for some basic pointers, tips, and fundamentals of duck hunting. This is my first year out. I need to know about essential gear, do’s and don’ts, best times, and best weather. I want to shorten my learning curve.
A: www. waterfowler. com. also go to www.macsprairewings.com and buy some books/ dvd’s. or cabela’s.

Q: What kind of shells do i use for duck hunting?
I’m hunting duck in west texas next weekend, i’ll be using a remmington model1200 automatic 12gauge. So many people say different things, i just need an all around shell. best answer ten pts
A: With Ducks or Geese its always better to use the Mag shell.@ 3 in mag. If your gun isnt chambered for the 3 inch shell then get a 2 3/4 in cartridege that has a a larger powder load and a heavy shot size. Either #4 or # 6.. If you are unsure of the round then open a box and the brass part will be about 1/4+ in on a small powder charge and over 1/2 in on a larger powder charge.. Sometimes they will be refered to as low or high brass cartridges..
Yet even if you do not have a 3 in chamber you can still get a 2 3/4 in round with magnum qualities… Just ask the gun shop if they happen to stock 2 3/4 mag rounds for the 12 guage.. Some do and some dont.
You do need to specify that you are gong waterfowl hunting so that they will sell you a non toxic shot.. Let the sales folks know that and they will be more than happy to help and if not comfortable with that sales person ask for someone else. Like cars not all sales persons are the same and you need to find a sales person who can speak your level of knowledge.
Remember to get a duck stamp or a migratory bird stamp.. REMEMBER that waterfowl / ducks and geese are regulated by the fed gov and shooting them is Federal.. Dont want them bos hot on your tail for anything.. But more than that the purchase of the duck stamp helps maintain habitat and the stamps look cool…. Have to sign it though ** Remember** Not signed then aint legal,,,,
Brand of shell doesnt make a diff. Just the 3 in mag with #4 or 6 shot.. if not 3 in mag then a high brass or 2 3/4 round mag ( if the store stocks them ) and still in a 4 or 6 shot,, NON toxic shot.
Sure hope that this helps ya…. Remember the larger the cartridge then the more powder and shot it can hold and that means a longer range and a denser patern on the target..
Good Hunting
the larger 3 in shell gives
Q: What does it cost to get into duck hunting.?
I’m 15 and would like to get into duck hunting. I really have two questions. First, how much does it cost to get into duck hunting(shotgun not included). And second, is this a good sport for someone who has never hunted before? I’m hoping to take the hunter education course next week and really just want the bare essentials, nothing else. As I doubt I can convince my father to pay for anything involved(he’s never really tried hunting or fishing or shooting).
A: my dad and brother are into duck hunting as well. im not sure of the actual price of it..but you’ll have to keep in mind that you’re going to have to buy the camo, possibly decoys, weighters (if your going in water), and any other essentials. im sure the hunters education course will go over all of that stuff. and yeah. its a great sport. my brothers 13 and was into the sport ever since my dad brought us with him when we were younger. my brother also shot his first duck last year. (he just began hunting last winter.) but everything will become more clear after you take the hunters course. hope i helped =]
–EDIT–
feel free to email me if you have anymore questions. i can always ask my brother/dad if you need answers.
Q: What size motor for duck hunting boat?
I am going to buy a suzuki 4 stroke motor for my 9 foot aluminum duck boat. They have a 2.5 hp for $650 or a 4 hp for $980. The 2.5 weighs like 35 lbs, the 4 hp weighs 55 lbs. I’m not sure if the 2.5 will be enough. I’ve never had a boat motor before. I will be duck hunting with this boat. Mostly alone, sometimes with another person. Will the 2.5 be enough?
A: It’s the horse power rating you need to be concerned about. Look on the transom. You will find a tag that the Coast Guard rates your vessel at. It will have maximum horse power, number of persons, weight, etc. That’s what I would go off of.
My boat is a 14 footer and it rates for a 10 horse, but I’ve beefed up the transom considerably. Not knowing if you have a flat bottomed or V hulled john boat, I would still think the 4 horse would be alright. You may have to move your fuel tanks to the front or even add weight to properly balance your boat to maximize the motors efficiency.
