I believe you about the fence post. I have shot many ducks and geese in Montana doing the same thing you explained.
dma_ayotte: One more tip that hasnt been mentioned is keep your gun out of the sun. Unless it has a camo finish. Those barrels are sure purdy but they might be the reason your doing everything right but still have birds flaring on you. I like to keep my gun down close to the ground and with me shooting an O/U it has a lot more surface to reflect so I also keep it so that the sights are facing up. Most guts have a textured strip on the top of the barrel that does not reflect like the side of the barrel
hope this helps ya. Waterfowl hunting is one of the most addicting thinks I have ever done. Maybe that is why I have kept doing it since I could ever remember going with my dad and carrying a bb gun.
