Are woodys the only ducks you see where your at? If your Mojo is a mallard, whether or not it is or is'nt I would mix a dozen or so mallard deaks in and learn how to blow a mallard call. Where I'm at in the midwest we get into some woodys early season with just mallard deaks and calling.

I knows theres some knowledgable guys on here from those parts who can help you better than I can with specie types and techniques for that part of the country. Regardless, I dont know any duck hunters that have no mallard deaks and or calls. If that sounded like I'm busting your balls, I can assure you thats not my intent, I'm just saying that everyone I know in this sport got started on a mallard call over mallard deaks, at least where I'm from.
I love to see knew guys get involved with this sport and as everyone else on here, I will try to pass on as much experiance as I can to anyone thats interested.

No, you aren't busting my balls. My ears are wide open. I have a mallard call by Hayes I believe called lil bad azz, it's a double Reed call. Can you give me a little information on mallards? Do they roost and stay around the same area? Or do they just migrate through and are gone after a couple of weeks? The reason I'm so stuck on wood duck hunting is simply because I know there's a ton of them, and I know a little about them, such as not many of them ever migrate.. But please, let me know everything about mallards, I know they have the quack, and comeback calls, but I'm
Honestly as new as they come, I'm only 18, and there is no guidance for duck hunting,

But I also did this in the afternoon, so, of course all the birds were flying to roost, but I seen over 30 woodies flying to roost, so I know there's a ton on the river, but how do the seasoned duck hunters go about scouting? Do y'all search for food sources like you would a deer? Certain aquatic life maybe? And when you do get a idea of where there going, should you set up in the middle, like of where there going, and where there roosting? Or set up exactly where they are going? Lol, I'm getting some pretty good questions in! This website has helped a lot, before this website I thought every duck just roosted in the trees like woodies!!
