[QUOTE="Crosshairy, post: 5007954, member: 3202"] I'm totally with you there. I started duck hunting about 7 years ago now, and have shifted toward that being my preferred pursuit and basically haven't deer hunted the last 3 years. I'm mostly doing timber hunts as well on public ground, and it's just something special that the field / open-water hunting can't replicate. I think (for me) it has to do with the diversity of habitat - when you are hunting timber, you might have a turkey light in a tree over your hole, or an otter come swimming down the slough, or a variety of birds flitting around over your heads. Then when the ducks work through the trees it seems way more dramatic than a long approach in a field, since you often don't see them coming from miles away. An empty sky in the timber might not mean anything! An empty sky on a field/lake means there are no birds for miles, perhaps. Good luck on your new spot!! [/QUOTE]
