Guide 05

Weather & Timing

1. Waiting for legal shooting light is a suggestion for people who don't trust their own eyes.
2. Bluebird days are the best days to test theories, since there's nothing else to blame if it doesn't work.
3. A falling barometer means the ducks are moving. A rising one also means the ducks are moving. It's really more of a vibe.
4. Fog is nature's way of telling you decoy realism doesn't matter today.
5. The best hour to hunt is whichever one you're already awake for.
6. Wind direction matters less than wind volume. A strong wind from the wrong way still counts as a strong wind.
7. A calm, clear morning with zero duck activity just means they're playing it cool.
8. Snow is a green light. Ducks love weather that matches the season on a calendar.
9. If the forecast says stay home, that's usually just liability language.
10. The second an alarm feels too early, that's confirmation you set it correctly.
