bucketmouth64 Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Going on a guided hunt next weekend at lac qui parle. We have a choice of a field or water hunt. Any suggestions which to do would be appreciated, never been there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shortfatguy Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 I would say your best set would be paying for me to go with you! Haha. I have never hunted a field so it would be a tough call for me. Best of luck to you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quackaddict9 Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 ask him where the birds are and go from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carpshooterdeluxe Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 you should have decent hunting either way. It all comes down to whether or not you want to shoot canadas with a chance of mallards, or mallards with a chance of divers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walleyemaster08 Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 Me personally, i like hunting in fields cause thats what im set up for and i dont have to wear waders and more. Its all about the person Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ducksnbucks Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 I love hunting geese and big mallards in the corn, and I have had better luck in the fields!! Thats just me though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WollMan Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 having just been out there and doing both, i would vote for the field. we shot mallards in the field and geese. The mallards on the water were very educated, need some new birds down. the DNR count on saturday was 7500 geese and 10000 ducks. should be more geese after the NW wind this week.

mozy Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 I prefer field hunting. There doesn't seem to be as many people hunting ducks in fields so the birds are a lot more willing to commit. I've had woodies come into the decoys just like the mallards so you might get a mixed bag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZEEK1223 Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 Fields are hard to get permission, you can always hunt water. Go for the field Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creepworm Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 I would say it is the other way around. Decent water is much harder to get permission for anywhere I have hunted. Either way, it is hard to beat a good field hunt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finlander Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 Don't forget to wear blaze orange when going in and out of the field. Don't need to wear it while your in a blind though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bucketmouth64 Posted November 6, 2010 Author Share Posted November 6, 2010 How does bad weather affect the birds in the two areas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
