I would love to scratch a redhead off my list. It would have to get blown pretty far off course to end up here though. One day I might get lucky enough to end up with a can too, never seen a dead one but they show up from time to time.
Now, Dan says leave the GEs at home, QH says they would be ok off to the side. I wonder, is that maybe a regional thing? GEs are the dominant diver species here, so I might try them like QH said, upwind from the BB. But for sure, if this works out, BB deeks are in my future
Slingshot wrote:Also keep in mind that BB are tough birds , if you cripple a bill he will dive as soon as he hits the water and will snorkle just under the surface of the water so make sure you pick your shots in good range , not trying to tell you what to do but I hunt diver alot and there nothing worse than a cripple or losing one. Bills are easy to decoy some days but other they are not.

As far as limits, the regs say I'm clear for six per day. On a limit of six sea ducks, no more than four may be scoters and there is no open season on harlequin. All other ducks count on their own six bird limit, of which no more than four may be black ducks and no more than one may be barrows goldeneye. I have to make sure I know the law inside and out because green jeans don't know what the hell is going on and I've had the cops called on me by some tree huggers and had to explain to them how legal shooting time works.
I even know a guy who got his gun confiscated for shooting cormorants, which are classified as varmints with no closed season or bag limits, because the warden thought they were harlequins.

That sounds like a gamie who shoudn't be a gamie. How in the hell could anyone think a cormorant is a harlie?

My main point is the GE don't usually like to set up with BBs but, they hang out on the outskirts of them(kinda like buffies), especially big rafts of bills. They(GEs) are black and white, that equals good visibility. Use them, you won't regret it. Besides, there are limits on the bills, you'll need the possibilty of GE to fill your daily.
I don't think the BBs can tell the difference between ringer and BB deeks until it is too late.

And they can shoot commarants. WTF. Somebody tell me again how the fed can impact a fucking thing with their genius decision making.
Slingshot wrote:If your on Big water and there's big rafts of bills close by try and use as many decoys as possible , sometimes it hard to compete with a big raft of divers not far away from ware your hunting.One more thing If your not using longlines and your in shallows thats wadeable set you blocks up in a big circle no more than 35 yards across this will give your spead from a distance the apearance of a huge spead to the passing ducks. Also this gives the ducks a landing zone in the middle of circle and keep the birds well within range for your shots.At the head of the circle put more blocks as if the diver are feeding at the head of the circle , if you watch Bills on the water feeding they feed like this as they dive down they pop up futher forward in the group this is why I set the circle up like this. Don't be fooled keep you eye open I've shot Pintails , wigeon , mallards ,teal you name it off this cicrle while hunting divers you never know whats gonna show up during ya hunt so Good luck to ya .

Those fucking things were decoying to my goose spread all early goose. Had the bead on em many times but didnt ever pull the trigger.

Get a spot lined up. I could definitely see myself getting far more satisfaction of lethality testing as many shells as I can pump out on a bunch of dirty commies than any duck hunt!

come on over! We'll have a blast. Dirty stinky fuckers need to be thinned out. The oyster farmers would probably pitch in for shells too. They shit all over their stuff.
