Duck hunting in the rain is miserable and also the best duck hunting

Ducks fly lower, decoy better and aren’t as spooky. Yes, you’re wet. Yes, your coffee is cold by 7am. But the action when it happens is better in bad weather than almost any bluebird morning. Embrace the discomfort.

I’d choose rain over a clear sky every time. Sure, I get drenched and miserable but when the birds are that committed, it almost feels unfair. Funny how the roughest mornings often turn into the best stories later on.

Absolutely, rain turns a hunt into a story. It is miserable in the moment but those committed birds make it unforgettable.

Rainy days are surprisingly good for duck hunting. The birds go all in like they’re on a string because everyone else stays home and the marsh empties out. If you invest in decent waterproof gear, suddenly you’ve got the whole flyway to yourself.

Bad weather just filters out the casuals, ducks don’t care but your patience definitely gets rewarded.
