All about hunting, fishing, and outdoors. Duck hunting on public land is the primary focus here. I produce hunting videos, tips, gear reviews, and everything else waterfowl. I also hunt just about everything else along with fishing.
Tend not to believe any wader propaganda... haven't found anything yet that is worth a dang. Till I talk to a duck hunter not shilling these waders or connected in any way Ill stay skeptical.
Jonathan, I have a $65 Echo Wood/PolyCarbonate Duck Calls double reed call and love it. I am getting pretty good on the call and am wondering if stepping up to a higher end Echo call would be worthwhile? And if so, which call would you recommend? I hunt NE rivers primarily, some flooded corn field hunting as well. OR, do I switch to a higher end single reed Echo call? Thanks for your input/thoughts.
I’m sure you know this but, the reason they may have been flairing is because all of your decoys were facing the same direction… when real ducks are about to fly out of a spot, they all face the same direction
Possible I guess, however the day before we hunted the same spot and had an incredible hunt landing all the birds right in the decoys (hope to put out that hunt closer to season, way better day). Was doing fine on this day as well until the lighting changed which leads me to believe it was solely a lighting problem and they were seeing us. I personally don't believe they can identify that all the birds are looking the same way. Have shot way too many over decoys doing just that. But that's just my opinion
Hope to do a full review soon but the battery life is good, 2 hours on highest, like 4 or 5 on medium. I rarely used high, so I could conserve battery. Medium was usually fine.
The hating stems from the affects social media as a whole has had on society. As far as duck hunting social media goes, it has to be a net positive. It is probably the most effective way for growing the sport. It is the new form of print which has been going on forever with magazines/books etc. The negatives are the increased pressure has made the hunting more difficult. But the ideal picture would be the resources grow to a much greater rate from the increase in hunters/resources thus making the hunting better longterm. One with the worldview that SM is negatively impacting their hunting is thinking very short term and acting more selfishly than others that are growing/sharing the sport.
another great video and I liked how you replayed and pointed out how the duck reacted to the splashing. I dont think I would have put those two together if you hadnt done that.
That looked like a good hunt. I can see that lighting with that thin cover would suck but y’all pulled it off. Hope your training series does good. I know I’ve learned a lot from you over the last couple years.
The only problem i had with waders were that the boots will tear and leaked. Nothing much from seams or tears from the materials itself. If their boots don't tear as fast i will think about it.
I've had a set of the regular breatheable high and dry waders for 4 seasons up here in New York and they are still good as the day I bought them!! I've only got a new set of wanders this year because I wanted a zipper pair. When with tiewide zipper wanders because of the the sale and 100 dallor off coupon code I had.
I live in Oklahoma, does anyone here know of any public Oklahoma waterfowl spots, I’ve hunted in a small town called Alex and had some great luck there unfortunately it’s private land now and I’m unable to hunt so I’m out of a spot :(
Right on. Who said and when did grunting into a call was supposedly the way??? Someone said this long ago and everyone else followed suit and accepted it as the right way. Another of many hunting myths that was accepted without question. Example: patternmaster choke tubes have shorter shot strings than all other tubes. Patternmater never proved it. It was made up for marketing and it is 100% proven false. Yet, everyone repeated what they heard and it was accepted without proof.
