Waterfowl: Footwork while Hunting
If we simply rise to shoot without thinking about the alignment of our feet we may never have a chance as our body movement is blocked right and we cannot swing to the right as far as needed.

In the world of waterfowl, “hide” is key. Ducks can see and hear, but getting a good hide is top of the list for a good day of hunting.
The variety of ways to get your waterfowl shells and accessories into the field can be characterized in two ways: big and boxy.
I just don’t remember having the need, or the thought that perhaps, I might use more than shells and calls in my early days of hunting. But today we haul a ton of stuff simply because shell bag designers have put great thought into styles. Some use a backpack and others a bag, but whatever you use I know there will be some discussion about what you might consider hauling in for a hunt.
In my 50 plus years of duck hunting, I have learned one simple rule about blinds and that is: You will never get it in the right place the first time.
