Big Sandy Duck Blind Drawing and Newbie Duck Hunting Tips


Recommended Posts

I went to the Big Sandy blind drawing this weekend. I've never been duck hunting nor have I ever been to a blind drawing. I got an opportunity this year so I put in with some people. My ticket was drawn 8th. All the stories you hear about people offering $$$$ for top spots is true. I turned them down of course. We are hunting in one helluva spot. The blind we got is supposed to be a top 5 blind most years. We have to rebuild it this year. Any tips for a newbie duck hunter would be appreciated. Mostly I plan on just watching and learning from the other guys in the blind. I shoot trap and skeet occasionally. Should I be hitting the skeet range or do I need to start hitting the sporting clays course?

You can practice but I recommend you just go shoot them but take the following into consideration.  80% of the ducks that are missed is because we don't lead them enough and are behind them.  The other 20% are missed way behind.
