"If it's cloudy hunt the fields, if it's sunny hunt the timber..."

Do you agree with this duck hunter's maxim?

Ducks seem to work better and or less spooky on a blue bird day versus a cloudy day......timber or fields. Give me a blue bird day with a 10 to 15 mph wind every day of the season.

You got that right. Spooky anywhere on cloudy days. You stick out like a sore thumb.

I would MUCH rather have bright sun no matter where I am hunting. Ducks can see too well in diffuse light/overcast conditions.

MAN it's different down here. In the marsh I HATE bright days, I prefer a cloudy windy day a whole lot more. However a bigger influence to me is wind, to me wind is more important than anything else.

Exactly my opinion!

SUNSHINE, no clouds, stiff wind, cool-cold temperatures

the sun and wind is your friend.... birds see way too much on overcast days I don't care where you are....

Doesnt matter over here on the eastern side,........... gotta have ducks to be able to factor in that equation........... In the past I have had better luck on a cloudy day myself ........... like I said in the past

Bluebird with wind and it gets right. Otherwise like stated before you stick out like a sore thumb
