New to duck hunting

[hunting_101]

I am new to hunting all together. If someone can take me out and show me what to do. I have about 20 decoys a few calls. If there is anyone who can help me that would be awesome. I heard you can't hunt dec land on thanksgiving so where else can I go. I have a kayak and everything else I need just need help finding a spot. I'm 34 and easy going. I am very serious when hunting. Let me know.

Then you may have wanted to leave this part out.

 

 

 

I only hunted duck once. I was 15, and the guy who was teaching me to hunt, knew as much about ducks as he did about women. Someoone may be able to help you, but I would suggest some DIY tests. You have the decoys, so get out and learn. Down corn fields, swamps, even a creek that borders farm land are good spots.

your location might help.

I'm in suffolk county ny. So I can just go on dec land as long as I have an access permit.

U walk on

[hunting_101]

Is it legal. I understand I can walk on. What about parking and there is a house by the pond. I'm not looking for tickets just a place to hunt.

Some DEC coop lands, which are private land leased by the DEC can restrict sunday hunting or thanksgiving or something, it is up to the landowner.

 

Coop lands almost always are very specific about where you can park. Some other DEC owned lands have designated parking and others do not. You can never drive off road onto fields etc... You wouldn't want to block any road, trail, or farm approach either.

 

As far as the house, obviously you do not want to shoot towards it. Waterfowl hunting setbacks when hunting over permanent water and not shooting in the direction of buildings do not require you to be 500 feet from a building. off

course, that doesn't mean you wont piss people off if you do. If its coop land I would ask the landowner if he minds or check your permit stipulations. Bad behavior causes the DEC to lose these contracts and everyone loses access.

 

Your question also asks how to hunt ducks. Another post of yours under small game is also very broad. You should narrow it down and give more info, for example what type of small game have you been pursuing and how were you going about it... The way you have been framing your questions they cant be readily answered.
