In land, does camo clothing alone makes you unnoticeable from ducks in the air or blind makes a difference?

I would rather be in a blind than standing in the open wearing camo. Movement is a big factor in decoying in ducks. Keep it to a minimum and build a simple blind out of whatever is around and you'll be good. Too much movement even if your in a blind can still burn you.

I've never hunted out of a blind on ponds. I either find a spot when I can get some cover or I've used camo netting to cover up with

This isn't the most recent picture (we did a decent amount of work this weekend)
But off to the right where you see the brown leaves -that starts our
Set up, just gathered bunch of branches and stacked them up. Provides plenty of cover (super camo'd out) and ducks don't see us. Ill get a current pic 2 weeks from now. Easy to do, take 30 minutes and make cover.

Oh yeah and please regard the DEPRESSING amount of water in the tank.
It was out to where I'm standing last year. Need a LOT of rain :-/ pray!

camo clothing alone does nothing

true but with the brush he making a blind kinda the same Ideal,no need for a hardsided blind,just brush blinds have counted for many a duck over the years

OP said nothing about a blind, brush or otherwise

yep guess that was mpr77 that added brush

I think you have to use some sort of natural cover. I use a boat to get to my spot and then usually hunt next to a tree or some sort of brush. It’s almost impossible to watch ducks, Call ducks, Work a jerk cord and shoulder a gun with just camo on and no cover and not have the ducks spot you and flare off.

it's not almost impossible, it is impossible, you must have cover

Long story short, if you move, and that motion is not hidden behind somethin, you're busted.

Personally I hate "blinds". Ducks get shot at out of those things all the way from Canada to Mexico. Now if you could walk past it, and not tell its a blind, it'll work.

I much prefer to be leaning up against a tree, or in something natural that is already there.

the subject of the thread is Camo vs. BLIND and he asks the question in the first post. I would assume "blind" refers to brush or otherwise versus having no cover while just wearing camo clothes.

Hummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm I guess that was where the brush ideal came in Hayraker is always tring to get my goat he's a good at stiring the pot toooo

exactly, thanks for proving my point

camo clothing alone does nothing

If you don't mind getting muddy, you can lay flat on the bank in just camo and kill ducks. I do it all the time and prefer that then to pile a bunch of brush in a spot that it doesn't belong.

I once hunted on a pretty barren shoreline of a farm pond. I was wearing camo, but also collected a small amount of brush to scatter around the area I was laying (as opposed to stacking it up to hide behind or covering up with it). We had several groups come in that morning and none flared. I think the key was laying flat, not moving, covering up my face, and having my outline broken up with the brush.

got to have brush or something to break up your outline... Camo alone and I would've stuck out like a sore thumb

You gota get that overhead cover. Its hard for us to imagine what ducks see when they are flying around but you can pile all the brush around you that you want but you gota make sure you have something over the top. If you don't do that might as well try and lay still and camo up good but nothing is going to stop them from seeing movement and just like with people thats what they key on.

Thread subject: yadda yadda BLIND
OP: yadda yadda BLIND
You: OP said nothing about a BLIND
Me: Thread and OP specifically mention BLIND
You: exactly

Huh?

then you chimed in with some nonsense

this

in flooded areas i just like wearing some good camo and blending with the trees/brush

actually id take that over a blind anywere... use to hunt some nice pit blinds and didnt like them at all...to limited on shooting area

Can you find me in this pic

I use layout blinds on some of my farm ponds and they are deadly. I haven't found anything that works better.

Behind the camera?


I just camo up and sit in the brush, then don't move, it's always worked. The only "blind" I've used I guess would have been when the water dropped and I had to pile up brush in the water line.
