DU: 30 Tips For Duck Hunters

Ducks Unlimited published a great web article that shares 30 ways you can improve your duck hunting odds for next season.

The article written by, Keith Sutton, is worth checking out. His recommendations are simple and straight forward. For example, his first tip is:

Duck caller reeds sometimes freeze or stick in frigid weather. Prevent gum-ups by using a product such as Rain-X or Aquapel thats made to deter rain, snow and ice buildup on windshields. A few drops rubbed on the reed with a cloth make the reed less likely to stick in the heat of a cold-weather hunt.” Entire Ducks Unlimited Duck Hunting Article Here

I wonder if that tip would work on fly fishing rod line guides? It might mean I could start the season earlier…
