The Main Ways to Drop a Duck!! continued..
Hunting from a boat is usually the least likely way to go duck hunting. This is because hunters need camouflage and cover when hunting from a boat. Sitting on the lake in a boat can make this difficult because water cannot cover hunters from ducks seeing them. The way to go would be to find some shallower water where weeds are growing to put the boat in. Finding tall enough weeds with hide the boat and the hunters from the sight of ducks.
Besides shooting from a boat, there is the option to hunt just from shore. This is by far the most popular kind because the cost of having a boat is not required. Usually only one pair of waiters is needed to set the decoys out. Using decoys would be the only reason for the necessity of waiters. Place the decoys in the preferred pattern right off shore making it easier to retrieve them also. The best part about hunting from the shore is that it is best or coverage. The trees hanging over the water or even the tall weeds by shore help form a camouflage around the hunters. In addition, sitting by shore makes it so ducks coming from behind cannot see the hunters until it is too late.
The main problem is that it is harder to see the decoys in the water, or even just to see past the weeds if any ducks have landed in the decoys. The perfect landscape needs to be in place for this type of duck hunting which is quite rare.
Hunting from a boat does not have to be from the middle of the lake either. If the shore is to muddy to sit on, then the boat works as a floor. This too would be very hard to find because cover would be another issue turning it into a bad hunting spot.
