As of late the ducks have been real shy. I have Been setting Up around 5,30 6,00 the duck fly out of the fields around this time. It is something to see and hear the wind from there Wings .I hang out in my blind till the tide pushes the ducks in

The tide tables are your best friend. Usually the best hunting is on a big flood tide but watch you don't get stranded. Wind and rain or snow will have the birds moving more. Be prepared for some of the birds to have a more "intense" flavour than field ducks. Like all duck hunting scouting where the birds like to hang out will greatly increase your shooting opportunities.
