how does wind affect ducks? - Duck Hunting Forum
2008年11月22日 · Wind over 20 mph ducks will sit still. Ducks will land into wind true to a degree, but fly with wind upon morning flight. So when you set up remember, wind at your back they will be at your back first most often before they turn to come in for a landing.
20 Gauge Loads - Duck Hunting Forum
2023年10月20日 · If you keep your shots under 30 yards you should be golden with just about any steel 4 or 3 shot on the market. Steel 3s are a better all around shot size for big ducks in my opinion. Out to 40 yards I'd say steel 3 shot maybe even 2s for big ducks later in the season. Honestly I don't like steel 4s for big ducks and find 3s to be a better option.

BB for ducks? - Duck Hunting Forum
2015年7月15日 · I've shot thousands of ducks with 1 3/8 oz BB loads. Caveat: anything less than 1 3/8 oz for Ducks will leave you short in the pellet count department, and you need 90+% 40 yard patterns for the load to be effective on ducks. Sure, the holes you rip in em will be bigger, but then there'll also be less of em. For fat mallards, it's a good load.
Best and worse ducks to eat? - Duck Hunting Forum
2011年10月3日 · Ive pulled 7-8 water oak acorns out of the neck of woodies in Louisiana. Then puddles of different sorts. Ducks that hit grain fields are probaly the cream of the crop. Whoever said buffleheads are terrible are absolutely correct as far as I am concerned. Ducks like Dos Gris(bluebills, Scaupe) are strong but in a good gumbo mellow out.

Best 20 gauge duck load - Duck Hunting Forum
2015年12月31日 · KPY ballistics, 32F and 1000'MSL, 1350fps MV, #4 steel, penetration to 1.5" in ballistic gel (number used for ducks generally based on Olin/Nilo etc. test results): 28.4 yards. By 40 yards it's dropped off to 1.16" gel penetration. YES, that will often penetrate to wound/cripple/kill ducks, especially smaller ones.

20 Gauge - Duck Hunting Forum
2016年12月13日 · When using a 20ga for ducks it's best to try and keep our shots inside of 40 yards. For small or close decoying ducks #4 steel loads work just fine, for a good all around duck load the #3 steel pellet is a solid performer, and for mallard only shooting I lean towards the #2 steel loads. Anyway, now you can be the judge, good luck.
