Hey couple rookie duck hunters driving around North Dakota... Looking for some helpful hints on getting ducks?? Seen lots of birds but nothing in the deks???

You gotta be where the birds wanna be, are you planning on hunting fields or water? If your hunting fields find the roost the birds are using and follow them to where they eat. Cant really help you with water as i mainly hunt fields, but id imagine any open water has birds on it right now

Just got home today.

133 mallards in 5 days.

And we slept in one morning.

Keep scouting.

Sounds like you hit it at the right time. Not sure where you were but we were out there the 20th thru 27th and there was not a ton of birds around by us. Good work

Fk'n right Beel! What load you set him up with J?

1 3/8ounce @ 1860 fps, you have to wrap your barrel with 53 alternating concentric layers of duct tape to handle the pressure

The guys I was with said we we're seeing about 30% of the birds that they like to see, but we still found 3-5k bird feeds to hunt.

Jesus, I thought they were like 1675.

When I used them I hit a lot more birds with the third shot than the first. Started putting a blackcloud in first and then those for mopping up.

Lol, they are 1 1/4 ounce at 1475ish, 3's I think

No wonder I would shoot and a different bird would fall

Good for you guys. We found a few big feeds but could never get permission and most of them were feeding so close to the roost it was hard to get anywhere to try and intercept a few.

That's the one I use. That load mows shit down. Got a couple mallards on the sail that I paced out to 65 yards. Takes a pretty good lead on those crossing divers.
