Worth Hunting Ducks in the Rain?

[TrapLine]

Do the ducks move around in this light rain? What do you guys think, worth going out in? With waders and Gortex not going to get wet but do the ducks move?

Just got here, lots of guys still in front of me, maybe I should check out the upland area while I wait.

Wister sucks in the rain. I have always done well at SJ in the rain. Just need to get into the right area. Many places hunt well in the rain. Not going to list them.

I would suggest spreading your decoys out so they aren’t touching

 

[HATCHET1]

Man I feel sorry for that duck already... FINISH!!!!

Those decoys are my front blockers, have 4 dozen out. Here is a better pic. Just missed my first Mallard Drake, had a pair come in hot to decoys. Should have let them hit the water. Baaa.

Hour left, the guys around me are packing it in, my only hope is the kick something up. Suns out and my landing zone is just a bright patch of orange light. Going to wait it out so no one sees my crying in the dark on my way back to the truck.

They need to change the name of these Walker Blinds to Hiker.

hunt in the rain are you kidding?

wake up hear the rain hitting the roof and roll over and go back to sleep. Best sleep you will ever get!

when i was young i used to hunt in the rain but honestly its better just before and just after the rain.

Good luck!

Can't kill ducks if your not duck hunting. Give it a try, you may learn something new.

I have shot a duck or two in all different conditions.

I like duck hunting. And I like rain too.
