Georgia Wood Duck Hunting Report

Henry Curtis, a 37 year old bank manager, understands the allure of Georgia wood duck hunting. It's been a tradition in his family for generations. But he's mystified by the approach some take.


"It's helps to know they tend to head to places of safety with food sources", Curtis explained. "Which accounts for why Woodies decoy so well at times. In fact, most of the woodies I've shot have either already landed amongst the decoys, or were committed to them."

He went on, "Being the most common duck in Georgia is why it's the most common duck taken in the state. Nearly half of all ducks bagged are woodies. "

"But you'll also see some mallards. Plus canvasbacks, ring necked ducks and teal."

"And can the little buggers fly FAST! We had seven or eight of them eyeing our decoys once. Saw something they didn't like and swoosh they were gone. Didn't even get close to shotgun range. So throwing up a 'wall of steel shot' wouldn't have made a difference."

Successful duck hunting in the peach state is never guaranteed. But if you're interested with wood ducks your daily bag limit is two. And you can legally hunt a half hour before sunrise to sunset.

Curtis then cautioned, "You can't use lead shot though. I like steel 4's early in the season."

"But you know. It's just plain amazing being on the water, watching the sun come up. There is no question I love Georgia wood duck hunting."
