| Hey does anyone know consistently good places to duck/goose hunt in southern Ocean/Atlantic counties? I went to a few places last year, and they all seemed like pretty good habitats, but no ducks or geese. The best I saw was a flock of swans in Stafford Forge. I am asking now because I'd like to get out and scout terrain and whatnot this summer to get an idea of where I will hunt over the winter. I'm not asking for specific spots, just general areas that I can go out and scout. I'm looking for a place I can go without a boat, either a lake/swamp or field. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! | ||

The whole coastal water ways. Look at the WMA maps and also, USFG Refuges.

| I know the flyway is right here, it's just a matter of actually finding a place where the birds are. Every place I went to this season that was open to hunting was bird-less. And without a boat I have no clue where to start. | ||

To hunt on the cheap, get a canoe. You need a boat to kill waterfowl.

| There's a spot I scouted back in Stafford Forge that looks like old flooded timber that empties into a huge lake. Does anyone know this spot and has anyone ever hunted it? | ||

| Your spots may have been good, this past season wasn't a banner year for ducks and snows, atleast for me and a few others, my regular spots were slow and at times duckless. | ||

I hear you need a boat. After trying to hunt birds without a boat I decided to build one. Here is a picture of my new duck hunting boat. You too can build one in just a few weekends for around 400-600. Maybe less if you don't have to buy too much in the way of tools.

| jex, Colliers mills has a huge field across from their main entrance that I see geese there day and night. I could tell you about 50 spots I always see ducks but you will need a boat to get to them. Tommy was telling me he finds spots in the marsh gr [no swearing please] that he just uses waders to hunt from for ducks. Where in ocean county you from? | ||

| I'm down in Little Egg Harbor. I actually went out to check out some places this afternoon. Stafford Forge was ok, had a few ducks and geese there with some good access. I also checked out Great Bay WMA which was filled with birds, so I have some ideas to where to scout once the weather turns cooler again. | ||
