Post Nervous about the duck hunters at the O'Neill Forebay?
Me too!

The last few times I've been out there, hearing those guys blast away while I'm there fishing makes me want to go clear to the other side of the lake. When did that start there? I don't remember seeing that there a couple years back.

I wouldnt worry too much, take it from a duck hunter. Just keep a safe distance (150yds). Its hard to kill a duck past 40yds so if they pepper you at 150 it will just sting a bit. But most duck hunters are very confident of their target and whats behind it. Give them some space, youll be fine.

That's good to know. They usually are on the side I don't fish anyway, so I'll just make a point of staying away from that area altogether. :)

The bite to put it mildly has sucked the last 2 weeks. I'm probably done fishing there until next fall. If you make it out there and do ok by all means let me know.
