    We hunt in flooded reservoir with stunted cypress and tupelo. We’ve had really good hunts with both conditions. The main thing for us is the wind. We prefer a good 15-25mph North wind. One bad thing about cloudy, overcast days is it’s much more difficult to hide well. The birds can see you much better because there is no glare from the sun. Love you’re videos - keep them coming.

    I hunt north of Portland Oregon and I like to hunt ducks in the rain and wind because that’s what gets the ducks flying here. Whenever it is sunny the ducks sit on the water and feed or roost they only get moving in bad weather. I think it’s because of the migration.

    My favorite hunting weather is the early snowy days here in MN. Divers just seem to get dumb and pile in by the dozens. It's only one or two days a year, but boy is it magical. The rest of the season I don't mind sun or clouds, but the sun makes for nicer sitting when you get skunked.

In my past experience I have had better luck on creeks and rivers when the weather is nasty. Im talking cold, raining, windy, just everything that's screams stay at home. But you have to get out there if you want the birds. That being said I hunt everyday I can, sunshine or not, I'm out there!!

    If it is going to be cloudy, I want it to be nasty with wind and misty rain. Sunny days I especially love when speck hunting. For the field I hunt now Sunny days seem to be better. I can use this past Monday and Yesterday as comparison. Monday was sunny, but little wind and I saw plenty of ducks moving at first light. Now the lack of wind hurt getting them to work in tight, but had several ducks work. Yesterday was cloudy with a good wind and saw very little moving, other than high geese. The two ducks I got came in nice, but that was it.

    @bradleykerner1974 3 роки тому

    Glad to hear the computer issues are squared away.
    My preference is a clear cold day, but I will take any day where there are ducks in the area. For example, my buddy and I hunted yesterday in a mixture of conditions. At shooting time there was a thin fog layer, lots of birds but nothing would work or listen to our calls. Between us we got 3 birds. About 8:00 dense fog set in until about 10:00. No shots fired, but good conversation. Around 10:00 it cleared up to blue skies. There were still birds flying but still not a lot working. We picked up another 3 birds during this period. Then some clouds rolled in, not total overcast but pretty cloudy, with some blue sky patches. From this point until about 3:00 the bird numbers were reduced but they got dumb, reacted to our calls and came in on a rope. We filled up our limits, gave each other a high five, packed up our gear and headed home at about 3:00.
    If I had to guess at why it turned out this way, I believe the birds in the area were not fresh and very spooky, got tired flying over the fog, and were looking for a place to land in the afternoon. I should also add, the hunting pressure greatly reduced in the afternoon. Whether I am right or wrong I consider this a great hunt day. Not so much for the numbers but for the full day experience of hunting.
    Al this to say there are a lot of variables that make a good hunting day.

    In central Minnesota, where I live, I have greater success on cloudy days. The ducks travel lanes are right above my chunk of private land. They are too high in the sky on clear days, whereas cloudy days they fly lower and decoy perfectly. The colder temperatures later in the season (under 35°) compound my success rates. Mojos do not seem to help, just three black ducks. I wear men’s size 13. Merry Christmas everyone!
