This is a comprehensive guide to hunting mallards, wood ducks, wigeon, teal, pintails, and other dabbling ducks. Never has another book offered more details on dabbler hunting tactics, including:
*Methods for hunting dabblers over decoys in marshes, flooded timber, agricultural fields, rivers, and small and big lakes
*Strategies for pass shooting, jump shooting, and float hunting
*Tactics for early- and late-season hunting
*Advice on how to hunt public areas
*And much, much more
In-depth chapters cover how to call dabblers; how to set up the most effective decoy spreads for a wide variety of situations; how, and where, to set up duck blinds; and how to scout and locate the best hunting spots. A chapter on shotgunning recommends which gauges, actions, chokes, and loads to use for various species and types of hunting, and includes tips for becoming a good duck shot. There's even a chapter on how to plan a duck-hunting trip, complete with information on the top ten dabbler hunting destinations in the United States and Canada. Like author Wade Bourne's first Duck Unlimited guidebook, Decoys and Proven Methods for Using Them, this one is chockfull of enough new and detailed information to make it an invaluable resource for the novice and veteran duck hunter alike.
