Ya don't want your first to be water swatted out of a yak do ya? The silence right before you call the shot pop the doors on the layout blinds is awesome.. the chaos that ensues after ya pop the doors is better.
Sure why not. While I can see the immense fun that can be had shooting them out of a layout or shore blind.. I'm sure its still fun to jump shoot them in a kayak. I don't shoot squirrels only when they're running. Or turks only when called in to deeks. Ill ambush them and have just as much fun. Anyday day the gun goes boom and shit dies is a fun day....
But I would love nothing more than to see a flock circle and come in cupped up on the X. Has to be a hell of a time...
We jumpshoot them early when the corn is still on. But to watch them big ol' boys and girls come to your call, circle, and then flip upside down and cup up to your calls and deeks.....it is a sight to behold!! I usually let the first group of the year light in the deeks just to soak it all in. To say I have a Passion for waterfowl is an understatement!
