frogslayer,Always wondered if we should stick it out and where we hunt we are allowed to hunt til 2:00 pm.I have found ducks pattern the hunters vs the other way around AND pays to be where the ducks wanna be vs where we want to be OR where we want the ducks to be.Few years ago,delayed launch til about 7:00 am and hunted from about 9:15 to maybe 10:30(had nice limit that included a greenhead and rest greys)and poor hunting buddy of mine was in what shoulda been great spot BUT the ducks wanted in where I was(not far from where I hunted today)and he did get three greys but had to shoot very long-range shots while I had in-ya-face easy shots!!Hope we get influx of greys but looking mighty doubtful so I am targeting the mottled ducks and mallards,not exactly the easiest of hunts but the mallards typically respond!!!Just got off Google Maps and if winds and weather allow access this Sat,plotted exactly where to put older son(he will be over 400 yards from me)and the flight path is one well-established over 20 years or so.
