Duck-Hunting Guides Tell All

Note: Jason Craig has guided and hunted for ducks on
Reelfoot Lake at Bluebank Resort near Tiptonville, Tennesse,
for 9 years. He’s seen some the mistakes duck
hunters make and knows how to solve duck-hunting problems.
Let’s listen to the confessions of this duck-hunting
guide, and learn how to solve some of our own duck-hunting
difficulties.
“I had some people from New York to take hunting
one day,” Craig explains. “We went to the
blind early in the morning where they shot for most
of the morning without ever getting a duck. Finally,
about 2:00 p.m. just before quitting time, the blind
above us shot in a large flight of ducks. One of the
ducks they shot at drop ped
down in to our decoys. As soon as those New York folks
saw that duck drop in to those decoys, all four of them
came up blazing. Although they emptied their guns on
that duck, that duck never was touched by lead. After
all the shooting had ended, and the smoke had cleared,
the duck swam away. They were less than 40 yards from
the duck, but they never touched it.”
