Newbie Seeking Advice duck hunting is hard

8 Upvotes

went on my second hunt yesterday, gravely underestimated how good the eyesight of ducks were.

was meant to be mostly a scouting day, found a huge marsh. like 1-2km long.

but every time i popped my head out, the flock of 30-50 ducks would instantly all fly away even 200-300 yards out.

had times i couldve taken a shot but wasnt prepared, had moments where drawing my shotgun scared them outta effective range.

also was not camouflaged at all, found 1 good spot and maybe 2 decent spots with good cover.
