If, when to get to your fields, you can't find birds flying, but some are on a field, but when walked off dissapper into the middle distance not to return with 1/2 hr

 

A. set up in the field and hope for the best.

 

B. set up under a known flight line (even thought you have not seen anything on it)

 

C. Go home

 

 

Also in this situation would you then put a big flock of decoys with a rotor and floaters to attract attention

 

What sort of ratio of shells to full bodied do you use??

If you see birds actually feeding on a field and you WALK them off, there is a good chance, they will return, or other birds will come.

 

Set up as near to where they were as possible.

I would put out as many decoys as looks "comfortable", making sure you leave a clear "killing area".

Use your rotor and your floaters.

 

If birds appear consistently, but don,t come to the decoys, I change the layout.

Sometimes by reducing the number of decoys, or take in a floater, or change the layout shape.

 

Don,t forget, every trip doesn,t end with 100 bird bags.

I wish I had kept records, but I expect my trip/birds average is not that high.

Has anyone else kept this information ?

Regarding averages, I try to forget!!  :laugh:  :laugh:

 

As for walked off birds, hopefully they were feeding in the same part of the field that I had sussed out the day before. If this was the case then I would probably setup in that area and wait for the next 'shift' to arrive. I like to remain optimistic about these things!
