    really hard to kill em legal in the PM. Only ways i've found is go on a cloudy or rainy day when they fly a little earlier

    I've killed a lot of birds after mid-day. Some of the best hunts I've had have been from noon until about 4 PM. The weather has to be perfect. I think the reason some of those hunts were so good is because I caught the front edge of a migration pushed by the hard weather.

    The Elites don't fear the tall nails, government possesses both the will and the means to crush those folks. What the Elites do fear (or should fear) are the quiet men and women, with low profiles, hard hearts, long memories, and detailed target folders for action as they choose.

    I've had some good hunts in the afternoon on public water. Summer ducks will be where they want to be 15 minutes after shooting time. In the afternoon they have always come in 10 min. after legal shooting time so hence my ponds aren't good for that. I've always seen the larger ducks in public water fly in earlirer in the afternoon, but most of the time it's probably under pressure. It's not SC, but the last time I hunted Laguna Madre they flew most of the morning.
