srfishin15 Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 This is my first year duck hunting and I have a decison to make already opening morning, being a highschool football player our games our friday nights. We have film at 9 am saturdays. Is it worth it to get up and hunt a couple hours before film or would it be easier to wait and hunt midday until shooting hours close?? I don't really know how well ducks move throughout the day that's why I'm asking if it would it pay off to wait until after film or if I want to be successful do I NEEED to hunt the first couple hours of the morning? Just a question from someone with no experience. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goblueM Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 hunt the morning IF you can make it back for film at 9there's gonna be a lot of pressure on opener so you should be out there early Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swany25 Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Mornings are the best. If you can get out, go for it. Be safe and have a great time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benbosh Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Did that all the time if there were good numbers of ducks around. Get up a hour before shooting time, short drive, be set up almost on the exact time shooting started, hunted for 45 minutes to an hour, pick up and rush home to clean ducks and get to school 2 minutes before you had to be to class. Was it worth all the work to only hunt for that short amount of time? You bet your sweet A$$ it was. You can't shoot ducks in bed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farley Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Tomorrow of all days hunt the morning, lots of birds getting kicked around right away just looking for a spot to hide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carpshooterdeluxe Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 If i could have a dollar for every day I showed up to the school parking lot still wearing waders...Get in, shoot some ducks, get out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kuec1kyl Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 I'm assuming you play football for Sauk Rapids by your profile name. I also played last year for Sauk Rapids and made many morning duck hunts before 9 A.M film. It is perfectly acceptable to show up to film in your camo. Some of my best hunts were after Friday night games.Good Luck tonight! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
workin4bait Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 My daughter has swim practice Saturday morning, but she will be out hunting ducks for an hour or so,if a girl has that much ambition well a football player better have.She also switched her class schedule so she could duck hunt before school during the week.The only thing,in this day and age you should take your gun out of your vechile before you get to school.
