Time to dig out your finest camouflage and grab your calls, shotgun and shells. But not waders (see No. 8). You haven\u2019t invested any time helping to clean the blind,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.realtree.com\/the-duck-blog\/top-5-waterfowl-hunting-concealment-fails\">touch up the camouflage<\/a>\u00a0or fix anything. So why not just go hunting and enjoy yourself to the max? After all, those guys hunt all the time, and this is the first chance you\u2019ve had to join them. What do you have to lose?<\/p>\n<p>Turns out, a lot. Hunters are a welcoming bunch, but we\u2019re quick to boot freeloaders and jerks who don\u2019t belong in camp. If you\u2019re a little rusty on your etiquette, pay attention to these 14 tips to ensure your hunt will be a once-in-a-lifetime experience.<\/p>\n<h2>1. Be Late to the Meeting Place<\/h2>\n<p>What difference will\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.realtree.com\/the-duck-blog\/duck-hunters-are-you-waking-up-too-early\">sleeping in<\/a>\u00a0an extra 15 minutes make? Sure, it might mean missing first shooting light when there\u2019s a long drive ahead, plus a walk or boat ride, but that\u2019s not a big deal. Want to make a real impression? Take a nap during the drive. Let the other guys stay alert and chauffer you to their favorite spot. Pay close attention to where you\u2019re hunting though, especially if it\u2019s on public land. When you arrive, drop a waypoint with an X Hunt to ensure you can find the spot again without them.<\/p>\n<h2>2. Don\u2019t Offer to Pay Your Share of Expenses<\/h2>\n<p>Gas for the truck and boat, or groceries for blind meals? Nah, someone else will cover it. But be first to reach for a plate of bacon and scrambled eggs someone else brought and cooked. Clean up your mess, and pick up your candy wrappers, pop cans and empty shotshells? Don\u2019t bother. You\u2019re not the maid. For bonus points, bring a couple of doughnuts and don\u2019t share with anyone.<\/p>\n<h2>3. Offer to Help, But Only Where It\u2019s Warm<\/h2>\n<p>Forget your waders. They leak, and you haven\u2019t had time since the previous season to patch or replace them. Instead, offer to fire up the stove to warm the blind while your hunting partners\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.realtree.com\/the-duck-blog\/8-tips-for-staying-warm-during-frigid-duck-hunts\">break ice<\/a>\u00a0and set decoys. But don\u2019t let that stop you from offering advice on how to set the spread. Likewise, when it\u2019s time to leave, busy yourself organizing your hunting bag \u201cfor tomorrow\u201d while others gather decoys. Let them carry the decoys and dead birds back to the truck because your \u201cold football injury\u201d is flaring up.<\/p>\n<h2>4. Be a Leader<\/h2>\n<p>If you have to set decoys yourself, let your expertise show. Sure, it\u2019s not your spot, and you don\u2019t know how the ducks approach, but that doesn\u2019t mean you haven\u2019t sized up the situation in the pre-dawn darkness. You know your buddies appreciate you telling them where to put each decoy \u00ad\u2014 and why. Those are looks of appreciation, right?<\/p>\n<h2>5. Bring a Poorly Trained Dog<\/h2>\n<p>Let him move around unchecked inside the blind between hunters\u2019 legs and loaded shotguns. Let him \u201csocialize\u201d with the other dogs, trying to get them to play instead of looking for birds. Let him\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.realtree.com\/waterfowl-hunting\/articles\/build-a-better-duck-dog-now\">charge into the decoys<\/a>\u00a0whenever he sees birds approaching. Yell to him often and loudly, especially when your buddies are calling to an incoming flock. Want to really stand out? Stand in the decoys yelling at your dog to come \u2014 \u201cDuke, get back here! Duke!\u201d \u2014 when the next flock appears.<\/p>\n<h2>6. Anticipate the Shot Caller<\/h2>\n<p>When someone says a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.realtree.com\/the-duck-blog\/who-calls-the-shot\">flock is incoming<\/a>, stand up and look around with your uncamouflaged face shining like a signal mirror to a rescue plane. Congratulate yourself for just rescuing that flock from a deadly barrage. If the birds ignore your warnings and come in for the landing, spring into action before everyone else. This is especially important when birds are coming in on your side and you\u2019re the only one with a shot. Emptying your shotgun without touching a feather only heightens the enthusiasm.<\/p>\n<h2>7. Widen Your Shooting Lane to Include the Full Spread<\/h2>\n<p>Don\u2019t worry about limiting your shots to between 10 and 2 o\u2019clock. It\u2019s every man for himself, isn\u2019t it? Make sure you get a crack at those close birds, even if they\u2019re just off your buddy\u2019s muzzle.<\/p>\n<h2>8. Ring Their Bell<\/h2>\n<p>Shoot when your\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.realtree.com\/the-duck-blog\/duck-hunters-don-t-go-deaf\">muzzle is over or near someone\u2019s head<\/a>. That\u2019s especially easy when you\u2019re following up on two missed shots and swing over the blind to send a Hail Mary after a rapidly departing bird. You\u2019ll likely get the jump on your friend for the next shot, since he\u2019ll be curled in the bottom of the blind, hands clapped over his ears.<\/p>\n<h2>9. Disregard All Firearm Safety Rules<\/h2>\n<p>Load and reload your shotgun with the muzzle in the blind. Wave the loaded gun around while showing off its nifty engraving. Also, balance it precariously against the wall (who needs gun holders?) for easy access. Don\u2019t worry if you occasionally kick it or bump it while reaching for a dropped glove.<\/p>\n<h2>10. Shoot Over the Dogs<\/h2>\n<p>Lob shot over any and all dogs that are making retrieves in the decoys or searching for birds in cattails on the edge of the pond.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.realtree.com\/the-duck-blog\/avoid-disaster-remember-safe-gun-handling-when-duck-hunting\">Blaze away<\/a>\u00a0without regard for their safety. If you\u2019re looking for a challenge, be sure to shoot while hunters are rearranging decoys or signaling to their dogs. Or worse, shoot at wounded birds on the water or ground when dogs or hunters are out. Don\u2019t forget to shoot wounded birds in the decoys, too. Be sure to ask, \u201cWhy is that decoy listing starboard? Shouldn\u2019t someone go out and get it?\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>11. Call Louder and More Often Than Your Hunting Partners<\/h2>\n<p>Really show them your range and ability, and then take credit for any flocks that come in. (\u201cI turned \u2018em.\u201d) And \u2014 this is important \u2014 always point out that a high passing flock \u201cgave you a look\u201d when you throw that\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.realtree.com\/waterfowl-hunting\/how-to-duck-hunt\">hail call<\/a>\u00a0at them.<\/p>\n<h2>12. Be a One-Upper<\/h2>\n<p>When stories start making the rounds as you\u2019re waiting for the next flight, be ready with one that\u2019s a little better than the guy talking. If his dog retrieved 10 birds the previous week, yours retrieved 15. If he shot\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.realtree.com\/waterfowl-hunting\/articles\/waterfowl-shooting-singles-doubles-and-triples\">five ducks with five shots<\/a>, you went five for four. If he saw a 12-point buck, you saw a 14-pointer. You get the idea. Use your imagination \u2014 literally.<\/p>\n<h2>13. Stay Connected<\/h2>\n<p>Check in at the office or home often, and monitor your cell phone for hilarious cat videos (played at max volume) that you can share while others scan the sky.<\/p>\n<h2>14. Claim Your Hits Before the Birds are Even Retrieved<\/h2>\n<p>\u201cBoy, did you see how I nailed that first one and then swung over and nailed that one on your side and then that other one way over there? There\u2019s a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.realtree.com\/the-duck-blog\/waterfowl-bands-tell-tales-we-love-to-hear\">leg band<\/a>\u00a0on one? Yeah, that\u2019s mine. I saw it gleaming in the sun as I shot.\u201d Just remember not to claim your birds when it\u2019s time to clean them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Joe Arterburn You overheard the guys talking about the\u00a0great duck hunting\u00a0they\u2019ve been enjoying, and you wheedled an invitation to go along on their next outing.
