Can be very enjoyable when nobody is close to you and you can work the ducks. Starts with anticipation before shooting hours when you hear their whistling wings overhead. Then as day breaks, you see a flock, give them a little sweet talk and watch them change directions. As they near, they are checking things out as they circle around. At last, they commit to you spread. Wings locked out, feet down and 3 feet off the water as you raise and take aim. Pure adrenalin rush. Of coarse, my absolute favorite hunts was youth weekends. To set and do nothing but call for the boys and call the shots. Only one weekend a year for that but very few hunters and many ducks. Now watching them set up for the hunt, call the ducks and call the shots is a proud moment.
