October Hunting
Keep Your Decoys Loose – Many duck hunters make the mistake of setting their lures so tight. When ducks sit tight in the water is more often because they are alert to danger and ready to take flight. Ducks quiet in the water are usually distributed in small groups in water, especially early of the season. Place decoys to no less than 3 feet apart, and at least 12 feet between the groups at the start of duck hunting season.
Not more than Choke – Before the season arrives make sure you pattern your gun with the shells of their own to use during the upcoming duck hunting season. The boss simply fire his gun in a large piece of cardboard with a 30 "diameter circle drawn on it to 40 meters. Last season I was really surprised how tight choke was shooting my time to move on to a cylinder of improvement in place.
Finish Off That Bird – If a duck has his head up or is swimming after hitting the water always shoot a shot again, even if you have a dog. It can be difficult even for a dog, however, only a hunter to catch up with a lame duck. Many times a lame duck dives under water and grab a weed, never found, either a dog or a hunter. Duck hunting of success has to do with efficiency and certainly do not want to lose a bird you have worked so hard for.
The use of shotgun cartridges justice – Who often blame the hunters of steel shot, when in fact only being used to light a load, or small shot. When shooting more small, such as ducks or teal Woodies steel 1 1 / 8 oz to 1 Â ¼ oz of the number of 3S or 4S work very well. For making medium and large ducks like the mallard real steel 1 ¼ oz to 1 3 / 8 oz number of 1s or 2s is a good option. Using the appropriate shell for birds of their roll will be a lot less lame.
Do not Get Busted – not staying still is probably the number one mistake made by the hunters again. Even with the best camouflage patterns from a hunter can not make quick movements. If you have to move to wait until the ducks for cover behind the move, like a tree leaning against it. Also, avoid Cover up short and stooping down to see the birds come. WHN Always keep a low profile duck hunting.
Hands and face uncovered – Why buy a camouflage jacket and boots, if you will leave your face and hands exposed? By not keeping his hands and covered his face ducks are going to see the head and hand movement much easier. Always use a head net or face painted with camouflage gloves.
No place for the ducks Earth – After the ducks attracted to the decoy spread where the ducks are going to land? If no opening or landing zone during its propagation the ducks are likely to leave after circling several times, or land outside of gun range. Make sure your opening decoy spread that birds can land without having to fly on other lures.
Call No More – The best advice for this common misconception is that if the ducks are doing what you want to do why keep calling? By continuing the call when it is not necessary risks ducks locating the sound of the call, be you, and see something they do not like. You also risk making an error sound that ducks do not want to hear, and burning them. Still less is usually better.
Keep your dog under control – When duck hunting is just as important for the hunter, to minimize movement, since it is so important that your dog does not give up. Your hunting dog must be trained to lie still and silent when the ducks are working their lures. If your dog wants to break when the ducks are working just tie them up to a tree or inside the boat off ruin a hunt.
Keep Your Gun Clean – When duck hunting, it is very difficult to make the most of every opportunity to fire his gun if it is interference. It is not long when duck hunting his gun to get all gummed. The air Tablet works great for quick cleaning in comparison with the gun always strip completely. Carburetor cleaner in a spray can works well when fully disassemble a gun. Keep the receiver without the barrel and the screw head in a trash can and spray away. Be careful not to get this cleaner in a camouflage finish. Also, when hunting in cold temperatures for an oil very light and not overdo it.
Dress in layers to stay warm – seems that the best duck hunting occurs when the weather is at it's worst. By dressing in layers that will be able to leave your place without having to sweat it all up, and then add a layer when you finish configuring your decoys. The bottom line is that you can not not be able to hunt for long if the tremor in his waders. It is always a good idea to keep spare gloves, an extra cap, and hand warmers in your blind bag.
