Fields or Water???

[buckshot5792]

What do you guys like most?

I like hunting in fields myself. Nice comfy blind in the ground sittin right next to you partners. On the water I'm always afraid I'm gunna fall and fill up the waders

[Fox_hunter42]

I think both are good. If you have the equipment for both. I don't have a good way to retrieve a bird over water so I stick to fields. I wish I could hunt the river here, it's a major flyway

[wackemnstackem]

I like both.... each has it's pros & cons but if I had to choose just one I would choose to hunt fields...

[fisherhunter460]

Fields are the best. Less equipment to have to buy and maintain, not to mention store. But that is my opinion.

[buckshot5792]

I agree with you guys. Lot of field hunters here it seems. Problem around here is finding the fields and gettin permission to hunt them. That can be extremely hard in VA. It's pretty good on the lakes here if you can get em to come down low when they leave the roost. I can't wait til this hunting season I just need to keep looking for some spots for our little group

Best way to wack the blacknecks is to hunt em where they eat You've been on the X, you know how good it gets lit brother

[buckshot5792]

Oh yeah!

fields deffinately. seeing the birds on the field the night before and then gettin right on that X aint nothing like the rush you feel when you have longnecks in your face!

i am a field man my self , but i do enjoy a good water shoot every now and then

[michigander]

ill take wherever the birds are. i like both for different reasons i guess.

both! id say the best hunting ive accually done was a mix of both, pound behind us, cut corn infront of us, with about 10 yards of grass between the 2 and we sat between 2 cole haybales! limints!

but i do a lot of water hunting as we have a duck lake but we like to sit in layouts on the island and set-up, works great!

but i love field hunting for the ease of set up and retreiving birds, and dont have to wear waders

but i likeboth equaly

[kwacksmackin]

water freezes up unless you have a water heater like out at my uncles pit or really deep water so i prefer fields for that reason also they dont freeze up

pump, a chain saw, and a lil manual work solves the fozen problem

Both. Preferably water for ducks though. We have a sweet little spot on our local lake for ducks. Shallow cove we cove we can walk across and we build a blind on the shore. Awesome spot. And as for geese I prefer fields. Although it is awesome to slay them ducks over a dry field

i think the best is what i hunted a few days ago! a field with about a 3in deep water hole in the middle, and sittin at the edge of the water!

I like the field hunting side for getting out and meeting the farmers, and getting to know the countryside in doing the spotting.
I also like the ease of setting up and takedown vs putting on the waders and feeling my way into new ponds and hoping I can get my feet out of the mud in them, or I don't hit a hole, or trying to get over the deadfall on the edge, and it's easier on the dog in fields.
No heavy weed patches or deadfall to swim thru and suicidal diving birds to lose.

You need to come hunt my duck lake! Hard packed mud buttom, weed free water, fairly easy to set up, has an island, easy in and out of the water, and some mud flats around the edge so you can use some field decoys too!

Fields I am clueless on how to hunt geese over water.

[MarshBuster]

Water without a doubt, nothin like the view during the surise and i guess i was just raised on hunting over water. got a field spread and blind last year though so i started that
