Well I have been skunked my first season ever Duck hunting. I have been hunting the Sac River out Jellys Ferry rd. near Red Bluff, CA.. Lots of wood ducks in the area and having a lot of them fly over my decoys and some landing in them.. most of the time just out of my range and when i have shot I miss.. Ducks are sure different than shooting skeet... Oh well.. Heading out at 5am to try again.. let yall know how it turns out.. Any tips and Crits. are welcome

Lead them a little more or less.

"Butt, bill, boom" swing-through seems to help new bird shooters as much as anything.

^This. You have to lead a bird...

Good luck!

Lots of woodies on the Sacramento River and mallards too, especially a little south of where you are hunting. Once you get the hang of swinging on the birds it comes a lot easier. Welcome to the WFF.
