As the seasons progress so does duck hunting, in fact each period of the duck season requires different strategies and focus points to be as effective as possible. On this episode I talk about the different phases of the duck season and what is unique about hunting during each of them.
Duck season can be divided into three phases in many states.
- Early Season – This is when things are warm and green. You are primarily hunting local ducks or early migrators.
- Core Season – This is what you often see on TV, the migration is on, and birds are flying through on a regular basis looking for places to stop and rest.
- Late Season – The water is freezing up and ducks become more and more concentrated on open water.
Each phase of the season requires unique strategies to get the most out of it.
Listen to the episode for all of the details.
