"GETTIN' LOST". It's what I love to do. My hope is that you find this channel fun and entertaining as well as a bit educational and can learn from some of my mistakes hunting public land whether its big game or waterfowl. I'll be doing some reviews and filming quite a few DIY hunts this year so subscribe! If you have any sort of video request or review you'd like me to do, shoot me a message or drop a comment.
WATERFOWL: Most all of our waterfowl hunts are chasing ducks, rarely do we decide to chase geese specifically. We only hunt the state of Utah and 75% of our hunts take place on public land. That means getting up EARLY and lots of miles on the jeep.
BIG GAME: While my passion is chasing ducks and geese, I do like to squeeze in a deer or elk hunt in once in a while. More often than not, my big game hunts are all on public land and with a bow.
Great hunt and an awesome video. Congratulations on a really nice bull. Thanks for making this happen for Riley. Thanks for sharing. Van Tassell is not a real common name. I knew a Gail Van Tassell from Idaho. Do you know him?
People don’t give this unit much credit they say their is small bucks or no bucks bs I have seen some pretty decent bucks. I love this unit I hunt every chance I get
I mounted mine on the middle bench seat I didn't want to drill holes in the hull it works well the mounting hardware they give you are junk get some good stainless bolts.
I built the 13 horse predator with a beaver tail I bought a exhaust from beaver tail and used a thumb throttle off of a Polaris 4wheeler I have been running it for 4 year's now on a 1436 Lowe John boat it pushes me and my son about 400 lbs between the two of us 5 dozen floaters and our guns and ammo we ran in 4 inches of water today at about 10/15 mph it's not a speed demon but it will get you there when I'm by myself I can run in 4 inches at about 20 no problem I'm in that motor about 1300 I also run a 9 inch weedless prop it handles the salt marshes in Utah just fine.
That stuff is 100% full of xylen. I guess the monitory cost to professionally have it done isn't worth a FULL FACE mask, tyvek suit to keep it out of his skin or stencils to make the job sweeter. Broke people do the stupidest shit 😂
My 870 killed a lot of ducks before I made the switch to benelli. Got the salt marsh scars to prove it. Hard to beat an 870. Kicks high flyer all the way !
older video but still showed me alot man! weird question but what was the temps of your garage when you sprayed? Duracoat says 68-72 F recommended, but its the middle of winter and Im impatient lol
I don't see why you couldn't, the key is take your time prepping the area. I would probably sand it/rough it up a tiny bit to give the paint something to stick to and then clean it well. Hope it turns out for ya!
How high of heat are we talking about? I've got the barrel plenty hot and there has been no loss of color or chipping/loss of the paint or its color due to it. As far as extreme temps, I have no idea how it would handle it.
I'm assuming your referring to the magazine tube correct? I suppose you can, but it has the pump sliding up and down it and coming into contact with it every once in a while. Personally, I didn't want to paint a moving part that would wear. It just seemed cleaner to me I guess.
@@ChazVanTassell Yes the magazine tube. I can understand that. You're the second person I've seen not paint it. Thanks for your video still very helpful.
Held up great! Still running the same paint with no touch ups and minus a couple spots where I rest the barrel on the side of the boat its damn near perfect.
@@ChazVanTassell Thanks brother, from one sportsman to another I really appreciate the video as it's not crazy long and was very straight forward. Shoot straight and knock something down!
moi toi I know that your post is a year old but for future reference, after you apply each coat you can use a hair dryer to speed up the curing process.
Thank you for the vid. I know it hasnt been through a season yet but if you have been shooting or handling the firearm how has this held up? My 870 express has seen better days and the cheap finish is a rust magnet. Wanted to duracoat it to remedy the rust issue when its in the marsh and the blind but worried how it would hold up
Thanks for watching man! And I think you'll be very pleased with the duracoat, especially for the price. I have no signs of wear on the coating from handling the gun and have only a few small scuff marks from the gun resting on the side of my boat (they are hardly noticeable). No rust either. The duracoat definitely got put to the test and held up 👍 I'm super happy with it. Just make sure you give it time to harden and properly cure and you're golden. Hope that helps!
@@ChazVanTassell thanks for the quick reply. I realized after i commented and double checked the date to see that it actually has been through a season. Glad to hear it held up. I think this will be my project after the end of our goose season this year
Chaz VanTassell I went out to a local spot here in Logan area and I got 10. My girlfriend lives in Salt Lake and I want to take her to Utah Lake but I dont know any areas. Like what marinas
